Hello Amaya team! I have been having problems with Amaya handling of accents for several years now! In my present PC configuration (MandrakeLinux 10), I have _absolutely_ no problems with accented characters (e.g. é, ã) with any and every program I have installed, both in text-mode and in graphic mode. Except for... Amaya! The old item "Enable Multikey" in Preferences has disappeared... I havetried to build Amaya 8.6 (and also 8.5) from its sources, hoping to somehow solve the problem. The result is: Amaya 8.6 (or 8.5) Motif: not supported anymore Amaya 8.6 GTK : builds ok but accented characters do NOT work, because dead keys are _completely_ ignored! Amaya 8.6 Wx+Mesa: builds ok, and now accented characters WORK, but general usability is close to zero (e.g. many dialogues do not even open - Styles, Attributes...) How I am surviving: use Amaya 8.6 GTK for general editing and Amaya 8.6Wx+Mesa for completing the accented characters! That is a pain in the neck! Now for the real question: what is it that the amaya team has done to make input handling (in particular regarding to dead keys) _different_ between GTK and Wx+mesa? I would be grateful for some pointers regarding even how to make a ~ (tilde) appear in Amaya 8.6 GTK! (other than paste it through X pasting feature!)
