Your problem is unreproducible here. The mouse was used to copy and paste the page at http://facweb.furman.edu/~pecoy/mfl195/accents.htm into vim. 'file accents.txt' says 'UTF-8 Unicode text' The file was transferred to a machine with the same console and keyboard settings as you have. It displayed faithfully with less, vim and cat. You might think of attaching the file to a mail you send to the list. > XKBMODEL="pc105" > XKBLAYOUT="us" > #XKBVARIANT="" > #XKBOPTIONS="" > XKBVARIANT="intl" > XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:rctrl,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" What comes next probably has nothing to do with the issue: compose:rctrl is said by 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' not to work in Unicode Mode (console-setup has 'CHARMAP="UTF-8"'). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
