In LaTeX 2.09, use
\documentstyle[isolatin]{article}
to include support for ISO latin1 characters. In LaTeX2e, the
commands
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{isolatin}
will do the job. isolatin.sty is available from all
CTAN servers and
from URL ftp://ftp.vlsivie.tuwien.ac.at/pub/8bit.
Type dumpkeys -l | less at the prompt to find out what is
readily available. You can map them to your keyboard via the keymap
files mentioned in section
LoadKeys.
X11R5 Note: The dead keys don't get the correct names under X11R5 with this scheme. Generally
dead_* (under plain Linux) => D* or D*_accent (under X11R5)
(i.e. the tilde may be dead_tilde in dk-lat1.map but X11R5
expects the dead tilde to be called Dtilde.) This does not apply
to X11R6.
Execute the following commands under the bash shell:
setfont /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf
mapscrn /usr/lib/kbd/consoletrans/trivial
echo -ne '\033(K'
Note: This only has effect under plain Linux. Do not try it under X.
