Well, I am sure that at least ALT key is as important as SHIFT key but I will try to take care of it. For example in English keyboard shift 2 is @ sign but in finnish keyboard it is ALT 2 and in Turkish keyboard it is ALT Q !!! So I have lots of work to do here. I have a finnish keyboard here but in Windows I can set the keyboard just like in Turkish one but just when I press some finnish character keys then I get Turkish characters and some symbols are at different place so I have to try all the keys and then make a keymap. By the way in those keymap files there are different values for some fields nop, nul, em, dc1, dc2... , nak, ht, si,... Where can I find information about their meanings? Also the last question! I made a font for 8x16 successfully and tested it but also I made a font for 8x8, how can I test it? Thanks!
