Re: [MiNT] Greek keyboard table

[Christos Tziotzis <ctziotzis@gmail.com>]

I will most certainly submit it. Unfortunately there are a few problems.

 

Firstly the table does produce the greek letters but only for a limited set of fonts, those that hold the greek characters within the 256 character set. That means that it's unlikely that text written with it will be available to other non atari computers. I am lucky to have fnt files that have the greek characters on them. I think that's a limitation of GDOS. The encoding is that of MSDOS which has changed and I am not sure how the greek characters are held in newer ttf fonts or more precisely what the encoding is..

 

Secondly,  Jo Even's program doesn't support dead keys. To type greek you need to use dead keys for accents and other symbols placed on top of vowels. Is there some way that the dead key feature can be added?

 

Thanks for your help.
