-- I would like to create a translation of the Xmh resources file for several European languages. I do not have an extended/International keyboard. How do I enter or indicate the accented vowels in the text strings? ------------------ Jane Wachutka | jane@udev.cdc.com Control Data Corp. | Arden Hills, MN | 612-482-3869

The MIT sample implementation of XLookupString() does not do this, but several other implementations do allow you to create "compose" characters. DEC's Xlib does this and I've been told (but I have not checked) that Sun's does, also. Check with your Xlib vendor. -- Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.

There is also compose-character code patterned after the VT-330 (so I'm told) for ISO Latin-1 (8859-1). I did not write this; it was written by Justin Bur, now <justin@lspsun1.epfl.ch>. The code itself is available for anonymous ftp from 132.206.1.1 in X/justin-compose. (X/justin-compose.Sun-extra is further patches primarily for use with European Sun keyboards using the OpenWindows server.) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
