Six months ago several participants on this forum discussed using various keyboard techniques to type Unicode glyphs into an OOo text. Users of recent Ubuntu versions like Edgy and Feisty discovered that it was possible to type in a glyph by first holding down «Ctrl + Shift + u», then typing the glyph's hex code, and finally pressing the space bar. After the Linux kernel update to 2.6.20-16, however, I find myself unable to use this technique, nor have I been able to discover an alternative method. The situation has not, as I naively hoped, been ameliorated by an upgrade to a test version Gutsy Gibbon, which uses the latest, 2.6.22.9, Linux kernel. Any suggestions as to how I can recover this function ?...
