<Snip> Original message dropped as it's HTML

One of the problems is that the AltGr key accessed the Microsoft
codepage.

All of the characters are accessible as Unicode (although it is reported
as Gnome GTK+ only, but I'm using KDE and it seems to work). Type in
Ctrl+Shift+u return and then the hex unicode for the glyph you want. Not
sure how to add a diacritical mark to another letter though - I think
Unicode treats an accented letter as a completely different "glyph".

So Â is Ctrl+Shift+u return followed by 00bf

and Ã is Ctrl+Shift+u return 00f1 etc.

Hope this is some help

Phil
