Mule (21.4/5) french ç and oe

Hello I just realized that french-input, via latin-pre.el via quail has a slightly different input that iso-accents-mode: - in iso-accents-mode ~c --> ç while in quail it is 'c--> ç GNU emacs in earlier versions had also the quail implantation, but in 22 they support both ways. So I propose to do the same. - the symbols oe, which in latex is represented by \oe and occurs in words like soeur (sister) puzzles me very much: First I can't find it neither in a french keyboard nor in iso-accents-mode nor in quail (Xemacs 21.4/21.5) (GNU emacs 21/22) However when using latex and using x-symbol, \oe gets displayed as the relevant symbol, although in a sort of strange way: My current main font is courier-bold: that symbol gets displayed in something which looks like a fixfont of the sort of the family mixed, but it is not, xfontsel does not show me this symbol. So I don't know, I am no french native and have no idea how usually this symbol is generated (it seems that windows french keyboard has some ALT-I don't know key generating this symbol). The question is, should Mule support this char and how. X-symbol does not save this char as unicode or anything like this but as \oe. - ispell does not know how do spell this word soeur. Can anybody please clarify. regards Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
