"we can stop this will be solved automaticly"? something is wrong in that sentence. > later because it isn't important ATM :). Using the configuration files from X without any changes to them is the whole point of the exercise. > Please have a look at this file: > (/usr)/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose Yup, that's what I was expecting. Then you only need a simple table that maps X keycodes (symbols, whatever they are called in the X world) to Unicode characters (or character sequences, but I would start off with characters). > One problem is that symbol names are used here....
