[Evolution] Re Foreign Characters German and French into Evolution

[Peter Cave <cave tpg com au>]

Hello Andre

Sorry I did not get the accent on your last vowel - I read David's email
and yours just now.

I obviously do not have the UK keyboard and have a standard US keyboard
(in Aust.)

I thought that foreign characters should have been system wide but did
not think to look in the Mint 10 User guide - will do that shortly.
(Brainless in hindsight)! Have been using windows books for years.

I had looked in Open Office but could only find (as in windows) Insert
Special Characters and click on the one required but that is slow and
cumbersome and could not make the number code shown work.

With my keyboard when I press the right Alt; followed by e Evolution
goes directly to the Edit menu.

Control Shift U xxxx gives me a line full of uuuuuu

Anyway I now know that it is possible and I have seen your emails to
prove it so I will try harder to make it work.

Thanks again

Regards

Peter Cave
