Hello, How can I get the right display of the character Σ with nedit?
I doubt it has much to do with your "nedit" - but probably much more with your keyboard settings. Provided you have xmodmap installed: I'd nearly bet this command will result in nothing on your OS: xmodmap -pke | egrep -i sigma Here's what I get: xmodmap -pke | egrep -i sigma keycode 39 = s S s S Greek_SIGMA Greek_SIGMA U017F U1E9E s S and this is Sigma here: Σ This is how I set it up, for the current session: xmodmap -e "keycode 39 = s S s S Greek_SIGMA Greek_SIGMA U017F U1E9E s S U017F U1E9E" Long time ago I had a page, with hints on how to set up a keyboard - only the archived version is still available: http://web.archive.org/web/20041205031207fw_/http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com:80/foolinglinux.html#keyboard How: xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap # This is your current keyboard settings piped into # ~/.xmodap - but if this file is already there, back # it up before doing anything Start xev in a terminal, type 's' - check the keycode number - if it's e.g. 39, have a look to your ~/.xmodmap you created before, search for the "keycode 39 = "line If it looks like this: keycode 39 = s S s S U017F U1E9E U017F U1E9E s S U017F U1E9E you might be able to change it by doing this: xmodmap -e "keycode 39 = s S s S Greek_SIGMA Greek_SIGMA U017F U1E9E s S U017F U1E9E" To go back to default: xmodmap ~/.xmodmap # Remember above: 'xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap' Depending on your Desktop Env. you might be able to change there your keyboard output. Read man xmodmap. Please don't copy the commands above without checking before what they do ... And be very careful with your keyboard: you need its settings to type e.g. passwds ....
