I think I'll go ahead and create a new locale for this language. The link you gave me led me to a useful guide for creating my locale. However, I'm a bit unsure about what character map to use. could you please advise? We use accented characters, but not too many. ô, an "underlined 'o'" and an "underlined 'e'" are the most common. I suspect I will have to find existent substitutes for the "underlined" letters, but based on this information, what charmap would you suggest?
