Hm, I don't know which distribution you use, but if you install the codepage iso-8859-1 (Western-Europe) you should be able to activate this one in programs like kmail. Hitting the <'> or <^> and <e> or <u> produce then the right chars, it's at least working at my pc. To use these chars in X-Editors is dependent on which font you selected, as far I believe. For using these chars on the terminal there is also a config file somewhere; something with locale ? Hope you feel soon comfortable with Linux, Michael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
