I use gnome 2.22.2 as my desktop manager I specifically cannot add accent to greek letters/characters, should be probably happening the same with the spanish language (not checked) or any other language that uses accents. Steps: 1) Create a text box in Scribus, double-click to be able to edit 2) Switch your keyboard layout (gnome) to greek language 3) Type in an accented character. For the "Generic 105-key (intl) pc" with "Greece-Greek" Gnome layout, I typically press the ";" and "e" keys in order to get: έ (U+03AD GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH TONOS) The problem is that the text "Τα νέα μας το πρωΐ" appears as: "Τα ν´εα μας το πρω¨´ι" Other examples: shit + ";" + "i": Ϊ (U+03AA GREEK CAPITAL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA) shift+";" and ";" (adds accent/tonos and diaireses/dialytika) and "y": ΰ (U+03B0 GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH DIALYTIKA AND TONOS) Mind you, this works as expected in other programs, openoffice.org, mozilla firefox, gedit, etc. ** Changed in: scribus (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- Scribus does not work with accented characters when writing into a text box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
