It it is a matter of having the danish characters available and less important where they are, then it is posible to define meta-keys - If you or your visiting professor understands german there is an article here: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eserte/FreeBSD/doc/umlaute/umlaute.html It seems to cover how to use xmodmap: xmodmap ${HOME}/.xmodmaprc - section 2.2.2 I generally stick with the danish keyboard - with exception of c-circonflex I don't know of any latin character I can't reproduce, so I haven't tried.
