I have CFLAGS=3D"-O2 -march=3Dpentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" and LINGUAS=3D"en en_GB" in my /etc/make.conf Nothing startling there. In my /etc/xorg.conf I have the following entries for my keyboard: Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl" Being an old-fashioned arch Brit I have set up OO to default to British English. However, I live in Europe, so I use a Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro US International keyboard, set to US International under KDE 3.4.3. I do not use UTF-8 for character encoding, but default to ISO-8859-15, to allow me to use the 'special' accented characters and the Euro sign. OO does not recognise either single quote (') or double quote ("), but correctly handles the Euro sign (=80) and (composed) accented characters such as =E1=E0=E9=E8=ED=EC=F3=F2=F6u=FA=F9. I tried setting OO to US English, but this did not resolve the problem; OO continued to stubbornly ignore both single and double quotes. Normally in 'US International' mode, both single and double quotes are produced using the quote key and a space. Other applications seem to handle these quote characters correctly using my current keyboard set up. Unfortunately, OO totally ignores these keystrokes. The only way I can persuade OO to enter a single quote is to use the Alt-Gr key and '. So far, I cannot produce a double quote " in OO documents without having to resort to cut and paste. Has anyone else encountered this problem , or better still, have a work-round or solution for it? Thank you in advance for any help or advice you may be able to give. Cheers, Dave. --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
