Note that this applies only to version 3 of XFree. On XFree 4 (the version shipped with current version of all distros) the syntax of this part is a bit different.

Also, I'm not sure that such a solution works for all keyboard layouts (maybe it works only for latin1 ones?). I haven't tried it, but I was told that it doesn't work with Hebrew, for instance. Anyway, at least on my machine (mandrake 8.1, XFree 4.1 (?)) there is a "nl" keyboard symbols file, and therefore you could easily configure the system to use the "nl" layout with Xkb (see that HOWTO fr the exact details). > 1st response: > ------------- > >Hi > > > >It works but this is rather a "rough" solution because you can't enlarge > >words nicely in wisiwyg editor. ???
