Re: [orca-list] Problems installing orca on quite old system

Again, use espeak. compare your problems with utf-8 vs ifo-8859-2 to no
problems with espeak.
First just install espeak, then run orca preferences and look in the
speech page if you can select a synthesizer.
Of course, after installing espeak, restart orca and check.
If not, look if you can install gnome-speech drivers, if you can,
install espeak one and switch synthesizers.
You won't have problems, even with the fact that you use utf-8, because
gtk/gnome normally use utf-8 and I'm using it too with espeak.
It worked the first time when I installed it, while festival worked as
you described it and didn't speak polish chars, also stopping at them.
