Talking about Input Methods, another option is IIIMF, at http://www.openi18n.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=30&page=1 At least Fedora Core 3 supports it, and if predictions go ok, it should replace all other input methods, but that's another thread... You can get packages for Debian/Ubuntu as well, if not other distros. Simos -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
