The problem is, of course, if you tried to have all the possible 
characters on the keyboard, there'd be several acres to type on.

As far as I can tell, all possible Latin characters are available either 
directly or with the <AltGr> combinations.  I don't think we can ask for 
more if you want to type in more then one language... unless the other 
language uses non-Latin characters...

Play when you can. Hunt when you must. Rest in between.
Share your affections. Voice your opinion. Leave your Mark.
