Does anyone know how to set up Ubuntu 11.10 to use the x system for typing special characters? I found the Esperanto layout, and a setting to use some key that i don't have, but i can't find a setting or program to implement X. Any idea's?

Why do you need the x system? Don't you have the ability to switch between an English and Esperanto keyboard?

Because switching keyboards for 2 languages sharing the same script is retarded.

I use Esperantilo, which is a windows/ linux text editor for Esperanto. This converts x-system to hats. It has spell & grammar check.

For linux you have to copy the bin file & evortaro.zip to the same directory, make sure the bin is executable & run.

esperantilo downloads

I have got it running on a keypen with both the linux & windows binaries in the same directory so it can run on either.

Thanks. That does help a lot. Its still not the X system though. My main issue is that i decided to learn the colemak keyboard layout, and suddenly, the other systems have become more complex to use! I also prefer the x system.

Who needs IAL that require *special software* to create documents in it? We need real solution, not a bunch of band-aids. The language should have ONE orthography and be able to be written from any device in the world. If it requires extra software (causing incompatibility issues), extra fonts, extra keyboard layouts, it's not IAL, it's some children toy.

And who decides which letters are the ones, that can "be written from any device"? The factories of the devices? Or the states where they are situated?

And what is the problem with using existing technologies? Just because Device XY doesn't offer an easy possibility to place an arbitrary unicode-character, doesn't mean, that these characters are bad and not worth to use.
