But, alas, I have no idea how to deal with > those :) According to the new (not that new to be hones) grammar rules, ch and ll are not letters any more, and anyway they were formed by c-h and l-l, we didn't have special keys for them in Spanish keyboards. But as I said, I used the font and in capital leters I could not correctly see tildes or acute accent. If this is an issue for Spanish, this would be an issue for most Slavic languages and so on (ěščřžýžáíé etc.)
