I don't see what the barrier is. Operating systems nowadays come with software keyboard layouts. I normally keep mine on a Dvorak layout which lets me type accented letters by hitting AltGr-apostrophe vowel (AltGr is the right Alt key), and with a click of the mouse I can switch it to Greek, Russian, Hebrew, German, or a Sholes layout (in case anyone wants to use it who doesn't know Dvorak). phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
