the alt+decimal code for latin1 insert is a function of the windows input widgets. As we use Gtk+ instead, we do not have support for that. However, you can press control-shift-u and then type in a hex code for a unicode insert. Note, this is both a different base (hexadecimal vrs decimal), but also a different encoding, so the same codes will not work. luke _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
