Hi,
I am using Fedora Core 4 and I have recently tried out the KDE keyboard
tool to switch the keyboard layout to Maltese. The 8 maltese special
characters are being entered correctly in some programs such as
Thunderbird and Firefox but some of them are not displayed correctly in
most, if not all, KDE applications. If I create an html document with
KWrite, the ġĠħĦċĊ characters are viewed as blank characters (like a
whitespace) while żŻ are displayed correctly. If I save the html
document and display it in firefox, all the characters are displayed
correctly. So it must be a matter of display in some applications. They
are being interpreted and saved correctly. I tried many charsets such as
UTF-8, central european (ISO-8859-2) and southern european (ISO-8859-3)
but I had the same result. I also tried downloading the keyboard layout
on linux.org.mt, also obtaining the same result. If anyone can indicate
what the problem might be I would appreciate it since it is very
frustrating to type maltese chars and seeing them as whitespaces in one
application and normally in another.
Thanks in advance,
Reuben
