Message-ID: <1176@Portia.Stanford.EDU> Date: 29 Mar 89 03:59:47 GMT Sender: USENET News System Reply-To: drapeau@jessica.stanford.edu (George D. Drapeau) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 28 We have a French professor here who would like to use X for one of his classes, part of which would mean the students typing French on the workstations. I would like to know how I can map the keyboard so that students could get access to the diacritical characters in some of the fonts. If you type, for example, xfd '*times-medium-r-normal--18*' with an R3 server, you'll see the characters I'm talking about. I've looked at the man page for 'xmodmap' and typed 'xmodmap -pk'. The information I'm given is that only keycodes 8 through 129 are available to me, but the diacriticals are obviously not included in that range. I should mention that I'm on a Sun4; I don't know if that'll make any difference. Perhaps the Sun sample server only supports the range I mentioned. Is that limitation only with the Sun server? Is there anything I can do to get access to those diacriticals? Thanks in advance, ______________________________________________________________________________ George D.
