I can't seem to puzzle out how to input unicode into X apps: specifically, I need to do this in OpenOffice.org. My Windows "friends" all have keyboard switching programs that allow them to select different unicode fonts so that they can write their friends in Urdu, Byelorussian and Mandarin. Meanwhile, I sit here with my "superior" Debian OS unable to match their facile success. Of course I can enter a character at a time using the character map feature of OOo. But I'd like to just be able to type away at the keyboard in Russian, Greek or Tagalog. So, is there some way to accomplish this under Debian? Do I need some sort of keyboard switching program like those awful Redmond-worshippers use? Is it a more manual process under Debian or Linux in general? In spite of having read some things on unicode, I still don't have a very clear idea of what to do. Can anyone offer help, point to links, or make other such helpful gestures? I know I can use old-fashioned "dedicated" (my term) fonts to make foreign languages appear in OOo. But I'm trying to keep with the times and use the latest and greatest unicode everyone keeps raving about. Help, please?
