Re: Re Writing Ancient Greek (Revisited)

Hi.

I don't have much to add, but I'll give my experience.

On Mac OS X, it's dead simple. I switch to a Polytonic Greek keyboard
layout and type. To type diacritical marks, I press the modifier key and
then the letter I want. The modifiers are often some of the punctuation
keys (e.g. ;':"[]). If I want to see what does what, I call up a little
keyboard viewer and it shows me what every key will do.

I tried this on Ubuntu (using GNOME). It seemed like it was trying to do
something like this, but it didn't work. Some keys didn't do anything,
but made my computer beep when I pressed another (like a letter). It's
like it was trying to do what happens on the Mac, but failed.

I Forgot to try doing the same thing in Gedit. I'll do so when I'm back
at that computer.

Andy
