Nice to have some response to messages. As you can see there is silence with this problem, nobody else answered. I am just plain end user so i don't know anything of these modifications unless somebody tells me what to do. Abiword runs only from Xterm and have to be installed manually. There is somewhere in discussions thread about this. Probably best way to find it is to search for "aleksandyr" and search the results. Files and instructions can be found that way. Also you can use the "abiword" for search. I am using the latest software version and it works fine. Abiword is only software where i can use my SU-8W keyboard with these ä,ö and å. So try and tell how it went.
