On Linux, there is the compose key, on Mac, there is the option/alt key, and both are very convenient. On Windows, there are the alt key codes but these are very inconvenient, instead you can use the program AllChars ( allchars.zwolnet.com) which imitates the behaviour of the compose key. I use

Ok, ok, José Carlos. I can tell you that works for me, with my configuration, but I change the font, because I haven't DTLUnicoST. I write in TexWorks: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xltxtra} \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Gentium} \begin{document} ń or \'{n} \end{document} Run

On my computer, compose is Shift+RightControl (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key). This approach is best for staying within one script. For example, typing accented Latin characters (for various western European languages for example) on a US English keyboard and the compose key

[XeTeX] Building xetex (non-protrusion) problems

I was able, finally to build xetex-with-protrusion. Apparently I was missing some hyphenation patterns. As a backup, I then tried to compile regular xetex (all this on Mac SL 10.6.3, TL2009), but unexpectedly got this and I really am at a loss: %%==%%

Haha, as I said in another post, the same people who developed the Optimus keyboard also developed the Tactus keyboard, which is in fact a touch screen. It would give ample opportunity to implement strange character input. Cheerio, Wilfred --- On Tue, 4/5/10, Juan Francisco Fraile Vicente
