Re: Gnome Keyboard Layout View

Hi,

My daughter is attempting to use Edubuntu to work on Spanish documents.
We found the Keyboard Preferences and Layout View.

But the Layout View displays the keyboard with such a tiny font that it is
nearly illegible on her laptop. The annotations above the function keys are
completely illegible squiggles.

Are there larger high resoultion images of the Spanish Keyboard with and
without "dead keys". I have no idea what the "dead keys" are.

We would like to print high res images of the keyboard and tape them to
the wall next to her computer until she becomes familiar with the layouts.


Here is what I would recommend:

1. Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout
2. Scroll down to the Spanish keyboard layout
3. Right click the image and download - you'll get KB_Spanish.svg
4. Us the file browser (Nautilus) to go to the location where you saved
the image. Double click the .svg file. This will bring up the image in
the Gnome Image Viewer. The image will look odd with greyed out blocks,
however if you print it, it will be a clean, clear, print - full page
width - that you can use.

Also, the above will provide you with an explanation of the meaning of
"dead keys". However, it will not provide you with the function keys but
Google should help you out there.
