Your example worked fine, but when I tried to bind it to the key I
want to use, it didn't work. I used xev (I'm running Linux) to se what
code the character is. You said that this is a font problem. How can
that be? If this was a font problem I understand the
box-representation of the character, but if xxe works it should at
least store the correct character in the xml file. xxe only stores "?"
for the special characters. I don't have the same problem with other
java applications.



KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x5200001,
    root 0x78, subw 0x0, time 20290615, (110,152), root:(1205,539),
    state 0x1, keycode 34 (keysym 0xc5, Aring), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 characters:  "?"
