Re: [Evolution] Inputting foreign characters (Solved)

[Peter Cave <cave tpg com au>]

Hi Guys 

Thanks for your patience - the solution was too simple and I completely
overlooked it - eventhough I was referred to other keyboard layouts, it
did not even occur to me to "INSTALL another keyboard layout". It is
there in the system control centre options- Linux Mint 10.

Having done this now "USA with AltGr dead keys" and selecting it,
everything is there now system wide and with a picture of the keys and
function - dumb and dumber sometimes!!

Regards

Peter Cave
