Which distro? If you're using something like Ubuntu or its variants, MEPIS, or any of a number of others of the KDE or GNOME variety, most, if not all, of the pre-installed fonts contain the Esperanto characters. You just need to switch your keymap to Esperanto (and most of the aforementioned distros have the Esperanto keymap already installed, so it really is just a matter of switching over). The last version of Kubuntu I was using even put a little flag down in the system bar, and just a single-click toggled between the English and Esperanto maps.

Is anybody out there who has used the program called klavaro? I am trying to use but its completely in Esperanto. I am not able to understand what is it about yet.

I'm not familiar with Pardus. Is it Debian based? If it is, you should be able to get the keymap with apt - you can check the repositories. If not... I'm only familiar with Debian derived distros, unfortunately, and can't really offer any help for non-Debian.

Nop. It's not Debian based. I am searching for different alternatives like virtual keyboards or sth. Maybe its time for me to install Kubuntu or other distros. ridulo.gif Anyway thanks for your help.
