I bet you do have expectations like "this or that key should produce this or that letter". Or rather in the reverse way: "I need these accented letters, and they should be accessible by these particular keys or key sequences...". So I'm still curious: do you really plan to use dead keys or combining keys, or just simple keys for accented letters? > > Just for curiosity: please try the exact commands I gave you above, then run > > the command "cat" and press the "main" letters on your keyboard.

Now this is strange, and at this moment I have no idea where to look at. Did the commands all succeed? Are you root? Are you executing these from the real console (not from mc, screen, su...)? Please confirm that you really typed these letters to the command "cat". What happens when you hit those keys that are supposed to print accented letters? Is simply this keystroke ignored? Or a question mark printed? Or what else? -- Egmont -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
