According to the new (not that new to be hones) grammar rules, ch and
ll are not letters any more, and anyway they were formed by c-h and
l-l, we didn't have special keys for them in Spanish keyboards. But as
I said, I used the font and in capital leters I could not correctly
see tildes or acute accent. If this is an issue for Spanish, this
would be an issue for most Slavic languages and so on (ěščřžýžáíé
etc.)
