Certainly, adding a Thai keyboard layout to GNOME (System --> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts), and setting a key to switch between the layouts (defaults to both alt keys IIRC) worked to enter 'some sort of unicode' into notepad running under wine. I have no East Asian fonts installed here (certainly not under wine), so that would explain the missing characters - they appeared simply as the windows "character I don't have glyphs for" glyph. YMMV. Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
