other special characters? Reply-To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx
I'm working for a US ccompany, so I often don't have a German keyboard available. How can I still type German Umlauts (ÄäÖöÜüß) and other special characters (like accented characters for French names etc.)? In Windows it's easy, I just need to know the character code from the codepage, hold the [Alt] key and type that number on the numeric keypad. Or I can use a small program called charmap.exe which shows all available characters for a font. Is there anything similar to both approaches (I need it on the console as well)?
Martin, I'm several days behind reading the list, so if 100 other people replied before me, I apologize for adding to this.
I use GNOME and if you click on the RedHat in the panel, then on Accessories, and then Character Map, that program might fit the bill for you.
