I cant get a degree character in Evolution Mail in Ubuntu. I guess Evolution is on other distro's too, so does anyone have an idea? In WinXP it was Alt+0186 or select a Font in Character Map. But I'm afraid Character Map in Ubuntu in all Fonts seems to give only A-Z 0-9. Linz
There is as usual more than one way to do it. Here are a couple of links to the Gentoo forum which tell you how, but it should work, since it is an X issue. You may want to do a search in an Ubuntu forum for it too: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-279656-highlight-compose+key.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-53081-highlight-compose+key+special+cha...

Or if you want it without having to remember weird key combinations or character coding values, add the 'Character Palette' applet to your gnome panel by right-clicking on a panel, choosing 'Add To Panel', and picking the applet. That seems to have most of the accented characters and symbols used by westerners. (I'm assuming that if you're using Ubuntu, you're probably using gnome). John

And if you're using kde try the KCharSelect applet? :) ..

yeah, I forgot to mention that bit. You can either use X11's paste mechanism (middle click, or with a 2 button mouse, click both left and right buttons at the same time to emulate a middle-click), or you can use the Edit/Paste stuff under the edit menu in gnome and kde apps. John
