For the most part I'd like to internationalize xwindows so I can type international characters. Here's what i've messed with so far: in rc.conf: keymap="us.iso.kbd" font8x16="iso-8x16.fnt" font8x14="iso-8x14.fnt" font8x8="iso-8x8.fnt" in /stand/sysinstall under keymap: (*) U.S. ISA under config->console->font: (*) ISO 8859-1 keymap: (*) U.S. ISO also I have left ctrl+left shift as my keymode change in xwindows which does change modes, but it doesn't let me type any special characters. It either types a few selected letters (non international) or nothing. If anyone has any webpages, hints, manpages or something I'm missing out on I'd love to know. I've looked at the localization stuff in the handbook to no avail. Thanks all in advance. -kris =) ========================================================================== Kristopher Zentner | "Would you tell me, please, which Aspiring Linguist | way I ought to go from here?"
