Hi, I speak and write Spanish and for this I need support of the Spanish special chars in FreeBSD; for this in SuSE Linux I've used some xmodmap's to get the chars by pressing, for example, the Windows-key + 'a' to get the char 'α'; the commands are: xmodmap -e "keycode 0x73 = Mode_switch" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x39 = n N ntilde Ntilde" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1a = e E eacute Eacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x26 = a A aacute Aacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1f = i I iacute Iacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1e = u U uacute Uacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x20 = o O oacute Oacute" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x14 = questiondown question backslash ssharp" xmodmap -e "keycode 0x0a = 1 exclam exclamdown onesuperior" they work in FreeBSD with Xorg as well but some FreeBSD commands don't show the chars very well: $ cat espanol αινσρΑΙΝΣ‘Ώ $ od -c espanol 0000000 341 351 355 363 361 301 311 315 323 241 277 \n 0000014 $ more espanol <E1><E9><ED><F3><F1><C1><C9><CD><D3><A1><BF> $ vi espanol \xe1\xe9\xed\xf3\xf1\xc1\xc9\xcd\xd3\xa1\xbf and the 'sh' ignores them at all; I monitored with truss(1) that the shell is reading them from STDIN but the chars are ignored, at least not echoed. Any hints? matthias -- Matthias Apitz / Sisis Informationssysteme GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g / D-82041 Oberhaching Fon: ++49 89 / 61308-351, Fax: -399, Mobile ++49 170 4527211 http://www.sisis.de/~guru/
