It is quite possible that is the program you are using which refuses to accept characters outside standard ASCII. You probably have to set the LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL environment variable to something suitable to make programs accept such characters. (I know it makes a difference for some shells at least.) Using the correct *.fnt or *.kbd files just tell the system which key should generate a character and what it should look like if displayed, not which characters are to be considered printable or not. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
