Sorry for being dense, but which synthesizer (English or Portuguese) and
which language for the character name (English or Portuguese)?

The reason I ask is that for me the synthesizer is remaining the same
(Brazilian Portuguese) and the characters are not sounding any different
before and after Alt+Tabbing out of and back into Gedit. And the
characters sure don't sound like English to me. Admittedly, there is a
chance that they are English words being spoken by speech-dispatcher so
differently that I assume it is not English when in actuality it is.
Which brings me to the next question: Are there particular characters to
best illustrate this problem? (And/or the related problem you pointed
out earlier)

Something else that would be helpful are steps that I can reproduce and
compare using Brazilian Portuguese as my session locale versus Brazilian
Portuguese as a profile in my U.S. English session. Ideally, the test
case will produce different results in a "SPEECH OUTPUT" line of a full
debug.out in each environment. In other words, something even a
monolingual American with hearing dulled by age and playing music way
too loud for way too long couldn't miss. <smiles>

And as long as we are being thorough: Do you have any
application-specific settings for Gedit? (i.e. maybe something is going
wrong with reloading settings)

Thanks in advance! (And apologies, again, for failing to "get it")
