[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Font Trouble

bowden@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (John William Bowden) (10/01/90)

I have been having some problems with a font that I resedited. The problem is
that the original characters (some of them) like option-e, option-i, option-u
and some others insist on waiting for a subsequent keystroke before displaying.
I realize that this function was put there to remap accented characters and
umlauted characters and so-forth, but now I need to disable that in my font.

Is there anyone out in net-land who knows how to do that? 

				thanks in advance,
				john b.

Take a look at the documentation on the KCHR resource.  The best docs are in
the Resedit manual but you should be able to figure it out from IM.  You have
to change the deadkey mapping.
