[OpenFontLibrary] Typographers' (

[Dave Crossland]

Hi,

Applications, Accessories, Character Map.

Google for alt-gr keys, eg for me typing AltGr + ; then e produces ê and
AltGr + ' then e makes ê, and so on.

Regards, Dave

Dear oflb,

a bit off-topic.

As I'm starting to use more and more Ubuntu, I wonder: how to easily make
typographers quotes, ellipses and en and em dashes. Can anyone recommend me
a script or shortcut?

On the Mac there are handy keystrokes:

I use them all the time, in the web browser, in the terminal--it just feels
wrong to have 'dumb' (<- like these) quotes and ... in stead of a proper
ellips character...

thanks,

Eric
