Hello, I would like to edit files using GNUemacs in a foreign language with accented characters. If I could represent the accented characters with ASCII>127 characters, I can then pipe my files through a program which will replace them with the appropriate TeX sequences which generates the accented characters on a postscript printer. My inquiry relates to how I can re-map the keyboard such that I can enter these ASCII>127 characters conveniently, such as by using the less used math symbols, such as `>`, or perhaps, by using ALT-o to get the accented version of `o`, and so on. My second question is how I can download bitmaps for the ASCII>127 characters, so I can actually see the accented character on the screen, instead of the default symbol corresponding to the ASCII value. Does anybody know where I can get the programs and documentation to do this? Though I am not very knowledgable about computers, if sufficiently documented, I might be able to modify such programs intended for another accented language. (Mine is Turkish.) I do not regularly read the net, so I would appreciate it if you can send any replies directly to haldun@isl.stanford.edu Thank you sincerely. My equipment: Toshiba 3100SX laptop with 640x480 VGA screen, 1MB RAM, 40MB hard.
