According to Christian Weisgerber: > > As there isn´t a dutch keymap for syscons, > ^ > That's an acute accent (the same diacritic as in 'é'), not an > apostrophe. In 8859-1 yes but not in 8859-15 (aka Latin9)... In 8859-15 (which is 8859-1 with 8 different characters including the Euro symbol >¤< and the '½/¼' aka oe/OE pair), the acute accent is a slovac letter (I think), a 'Z' with a reversed circumflex (like a small 'v'). The iso15-thin-8x16 console font has all the new characters. That's why this character should have never been used in place of an apostrophe but I've seen many germans using it, even those outside Windows... I've always wondered why. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #78: Sun Feb 27 15:32:39 CET 2000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
