Re: accents

[Andrés Ghigliazza]

I can type the "ñ", but when I type it in an emacs on a windowed
terminal (and I don't mean in MS Windows, I mean in a terminal in a
window in GNOME or KDE), it is not show. I think that emacs does not
realize that is a "ñ" (because others "ñ" that are already in files,
can be seen without problem). By the way, in all other programs, and
in X emacs, or emacs in a full text terminal, the "ñ" and accent
letters ("á", "é", etc), works perfectly.
