needed tsalagi (cherokee) keymap not provided in X, how to add? create? Anyone already have one?
I just googled for "tsalagi cherokee keymap" and got nearly a dozen hits. Reading the brief descriptions there, it looks like several people are using Cherokee fonts and that there are multiple fontsets, even several versions of at least one of them. See http://www.cherokee.org/home.aspx?section=culture&culture=dldisplay&ID=NJ1eYu1xTrA=
They have a non unicode font. I already have said font: Their keyboard map is a picture: http://www.cherokee.org/Extras/Downloads/Font/Keyboard.htm
to download and try out one version. It's for Mac OSX, but being that this is basically FreeBSB, it should work well on Linux. It's likely though that the directory structure is a bit different, so you'll probably want to unpack the files under a $HOME directory, then copy them out to the proper directories on your Linux machine. Take notes so that it will be easier to do in the next version and perhaps for others using Linux coming along after you. They might appreciate it.
