In your email message, I too see greek symbols. The answer, though, isn't in your keyboard definition. You need to set your screen map to a more appropriate font. I'm from Canada, as well, but I don't type French, so I can't tell you what the appropriate screen map is. My guess is your keyboard map is now set correctly--you've just got to get the characters displaying correctly on screen. You can set your screen map with sysinstall, or with vidcontrol(1). > characters. I searched the mailing lists archives, but I couldn't > find anything.
