Netfront only supports Japanese characters (sjis) and iso88591 AFAIK whick means that anything outside of these only show as squares.

Try opera instead - it's in the cacko feed.

Ahh, writing them, you probably need to create a Spanish keyboard layout for the Cacko soft keyboard.

Have a look at /home/zaurus/Applications/cyrillica/ for the current layouts and use them as an example. It's pretty easy to create a new layout in about 10 or 15 minutes.

Also the unicode input method should have those characters, but it will mean scrolling around looking for them, not the best answer if you are using then a lot.

let me know if you have any troubles creating a layout and I'll see what I can do

Also, if you end up creating such a layout, please, send it to me so that it cna be included in Cacko ROM hotfixes.

You are confusing the physical keyboard with the on screen keyboard.

The cyrillica layout files have a number of sections.

At the very top is [label], the line under that is what label is shown when you have more than 1 layout availalbe using the keyboard app on the settings tab.

The next section is [screen], and relates to the on screen keyboard, to view the on screen keyboard tap the little arrow next to the Qtopia Q and select CyrKeyboard.
Each line in the [screen] section is normal and shifted keys starting at the top left and going along the rows left to right, top to bottom.

You can put the character you want for that key in single quotes (') or use the unicode number of the character you want (see the german layout as an example)

After the [screen] section is the [keyboard] section and is used for remapping the physical keys on the zaurus. Each line is again one key, but has three sections , first - original character (what we will change), second - Shift+Key value, third key value. So if you wanted to change "A" to be "S" (Shift) and "s" you would write
Code: [Select]
'A' 'S' 's' same thing applies as the screen section you can use characters in single quotes or unicode numbers

The last section is [keyboard-fn] which does the same as [keyboard] but with the Fn key pressed.

If you can't work this out, send me a picture of a spanish keyboard (or how you would like it to look) and I'll make a layout for you

Look look into [keyboard-fn] section, the first column is zaurus key code, the second column is UNICODE character code with Shift (uppercase), the third column is lowercase.

i tried, but it was very confusing.
First:  What is cyrillica? i see at cacko rom home page a lot of updates for cyllica. Where is the AScii code?
I took a look to the german file, where i can find the symbol for that hex code?

Second: I need your help maslovsky!!!
Here is what i want, if can be done:

Using the keyboard:
n + FN = ñ
n + Shift + FN = Ñ
6 + FN = á
7 + FN = é
8 + FN = í
9 + FN = ó
0 + FN = ú
m + FN = ¿
z + FN = ¡


That's all for now
Thank you!

Make a copy of the English layout (I called mine spanish) change the lable to SP and add the following to the [keyboard-fn] section

Code: [Select]
[keyboard-fn]
0x2019  0x0d1   0x0f1
0x200a  0x0c0   0x0e1
0x200b  0x0c9   0x0e9
0x200c  0x0cd   0x0ed
0x2007  0x0d3   0x0f3
0x2008  0x0da   0x0fa
0x201a  0   0x0bf
0x005a  0   0x0a1
0   0   0

I got everything you asked for except Fn+z - for some reason it doesn't work

I got the unicode stuff from http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf) and the keycodes from the slovak keymap.

hope this helps
