In the mailing list I read that b18 was to be released and I was happy. Now is time to widen the experience, to import the source, not only the binaries! But, recently I have found that swedish, danish and german users have complained about the national charac- ters, typed by using the Alt Gr shift key. They simply do not work, they say. Do we have to wait for a soon coming b18.1 version or for a small national characters' patch? For us this is a real obstacle because those letters are as frequent in our languages as are the characters of the english language. Thank you for your important development!
