When I was running FC3 (I'm on 4, now), I enabled international character generation by pressing a meta key (whatever I defined to be the compose key), then the crude approximation of the accents I wanted to add to a letter (commas for dangly bits below, apostrophes for ascending accents, etc), then the letter. Similarly, to get the æ ligature, I'd hit the compose key, then a, then e, and I'd get the ligature. For example, if I understand what character you're trying to type in, I get the ç by hitting in sequence: the right "Windows" key, the comma, the c key. Is that the technique that you're using? Because there's, apparently, a few different ways to type in these characters, and you might get the answer from someone using the technique you're trying. I had to play with some keyboard options to set that up, and it was a bit of trial and error before I got it to work. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
