Re: Problems with German Umlauts

[Konrad Blum]

Thanks for your help. As downgrading to Qt 4.4.3 was not really an 
option with my OpenSuSE 11.1 (well at least my box would not like the idea 
all to much...) I followed your hint, moved /usr/bin/lyx to 
/usr/bin/lyx-bin and created a small executable bash file with the line 
lang=de...@utf8 lyx-bin as suggested :-) - THANKS again!!

Problems with German Umlauts

[Konrad Blum]

Since a few days I have a new effect with a since-long running lyx-1.6.1 
installation under SuSE 11.1:


Quite suddenly (after some SuSE-Updating via internet) the German Umlauts 
were not represented correctly any longer, when typed into lyx.


- First I checked other software (OpenOffice, editors, terminal line
  input) -- they all still work correctly with respect to umlauts.

- I checked with older lyx-Documents, which hat German as standard
  language and German umlauts: when adding new keystrokes with umlauts I
  had again the said trouble.

- I tried a few more things like installing  lyx-1.6.0 that SuSE 11.1
  accompanies, compiled lyx-1.6.1 myself, tried everything under a
  different (new) user account) - BUT ended up without success,
  still clueless, with regard to the umlaut desaster.

- As it seems I need some advice, where to look for my keymap/keycode
  translation table troubles, and guidelines for a remedy...

Any help is  welcome!

Best regards

I'm guessing on several accounts. Is composing failing completely? I mean
do accented letters still work (é á etc, and eszet ß)? Do you enter the
umlaut with  as a dead-key or with composing?

I have composing problems since the last Qt updates. Still haven't solved
them and I really can't use LyX in Spanish anymore, because the problem.

Re: Problems with German Umlauts

[Konrad Blum]

Thanks for reply - hmm, I am using a German keybord,, so I just hit the 
umlauts...


If I use for input the Insert-Special chararacters-Symbols wyay, I have no 
troubles.


It is only that my most comfortable use of the German keybord for German 
texts has disappeard recently... (without warning).


OK?

If all the others work, I suspect that the umlaut has been reconfigured

try typing Umlaut, the 'a', check if an accent was put on the 'a'.
