Hello Javier,

you need a lot things set up correctly:
- the font for the terminal window
- the keyboard enconding/mapping
- the program (i.e. "sh" does NOT do it!)

For the first you need to start an X-client
with the correct font, e.g. "client -fn FONT",
and that font need to end with the proper ISO
enconding (I am not certain wether ISO8859-1
is sufficient for you - test with "xfd").

Then your keyboard must map your local keys
to the same code numbers, as your font does;
be careful: HP keyboards tend to use HP-ROMAN.
Use "xmodmap -pk" to check.

And last: if you try that within your shell,
you need to change to the korn-shell, for
the POSIX shell does NOT allow it, and still
you need to set something like
stty -istrip cs8
in your session (or ".profile").

HTH,
Wodisch

Thanks Carlos, thanks wodisch, basically the question was, How send this characters to a printer?

[Carlos Fernandez Riera]

AH!

Configure your printer.. set the correct character set as LATIN-8 or something like this. See printer's manual.
