From: Jay Smith <jay@JaySmith.com> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: BUMP: Icelandic character composition not working Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2004 23:11:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <40451421.7090202@JaySmith.com> (raw) Hi Again, If this is not the correct place to ask about this, please just let me know. Otherwise, any ideas? Jay ==== Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong list; I am not sure where to turn. In RedHat Linux running under xwindows provided by Cygwin/XFree86, I am able to type all the "foreign characters" I need to use, except for one Icelandic characters (I can type other Icelandic characters). Again, this is to type such characters in linux programs and documents running under X. My "guru" mapped the Right Alt key as the Multi_key and so with it I can make characters like þ and à and Ã, etc., by typing combinations of letters, etc. However, I have not been able to figure out how to make the "thorn" (eth) character which I think is 208 and 240 decimal. It is the character that looks like a d or D with a horizontal line through it. The docs say that I am supposed to be able to use: minus D or D minus minus d or d minus (minus = dash = - ) I have Googled and just am not finding the right page. Any ideas? Thanks. Jay
