German umlauts without NLS

[Jan Hawes_2]

Hello,

we want to use german umlauts like ?????? with HPUX 11.i, but we can't use Natural Language Support.
Do you know how this works?

thank you for your help

Hello

I believe you should be able to enter and display accented characters under X even without any special NLS installed

e.g. in a dtterm you can use xmodmap to display and change your keymap settings.
with a German kbd, xmodmap -pke
displays e.g.
...
keycode 46 = Odiaeresis
keycode 47 = Adiaeresis
....

if you are a touch typist and press the little finger of your right hand you will get a o-umlaut, (at least in vi and if you cat the file) this does not usually work on the shell command line, guess you need to set some other font ressource there...

Regards.
