Hi, everybody.
Myself and the maintainer did make some progress, but we got stuck. I'd
just writing a short resyme as all mails has gone between the maintainer
and me.
The problem is that if you try to type any "Scandinavian characters"
æøå, in an JTextField in either an java applet or an java application,
the characters are not received, nor displayed. Here are a little
difference from the original scenario, because the characters then were
received, but not displayed correctly. I'd made an application with a
keylistener which sent the keycode to standard output, this returned 0
for any of the æøå. This were done with java 1.4 on a NetBSD 2.0 platform.
The æøå are displayed correct when using JTextField.setText("æøå"), save
compiled with the -encoding iso-8859-1 option. The cut, copy and paste
actions are ok.
Nowadays, I'd run jdk 1.4 on a Red Hat 9 linux platform, and JTextFields
are doing well, no problem with the scandinavian characters.
To gain a Norwegian keyboard, run xf86cfg as root, klick on the keyboard
icon, "onfigure keyboard", select "kayboard layout" and select
"Norwegian". Save and quit, restart X. The Norwegian keyboard could be
somewhat difficult at first, as all the signs are placed different. I'd
had made an picture of it here: http://www.robin.no/~skjelnes/im000188.jpg
perhaps it will be a good idea to print it before experimenting with the
Norwegian keyboard.
Maintainer says this may be due to some confoguration problem in the
locale, but æøå is handled correctly by other applications. However it
might be worth it to check the key bindings for æøå keys.
That's how far we got, and I'd will be very grateful if somebody could
solve this.
Cincerely, Sigmund
