Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Spanish/French Accent Marks

Folks,

I have been following this discussion perhaps it is time for my story.

I teach Hebrew and Greek in a Chinese language school and must prepare  
material for students in those languages. I use Openoffice and now  
Libreoffice exclusively. I used to insert the needed characters special  
characters.

It wasn't enough to have the fonts. I wanted to work within OO and LO and  
needed a way to key these into my documents directly.

I finally found some really decent fonts (SIL) and a splendid keyboarding  
program from Tavultesoft www.tavultesoft.com and . Now I can type these  
languages nearly as easily as English ... accents ... jots ... tittles ...  
breathing marks ... everything. Some folks in a Greek monastery provided a  
Tavultesoft keyboard that runs inside OO and LO.

Tavultesoft is proprietary, but it has answered my problems (Even  
Chinese!). Maybe it will do for you as well.
