I'll take your word for that, I don't use emacs. But for the rare occasions that I need an accented letter (eg fiancée, café,) I find the compose key works well, and it works in my text editors and in open office.On Nov 01, 2011, Neil Winchurst wrote:But Italian does use an accent in words like pietà. Not as many as French of course. (I used the compose key that I have set up on my distro, Mint 10 KDE, to get the accent on that last letter.)You can do this in emacs too. Ctrl Q followed by the octal number for the character you want , eg 340 for the à. Oh and 361 for the Spanish ñ (cf original query). Tony
