International Character Input
Tux Paint allows inputting characters in
different languages. Most Latin characters
(A-Z, n, egrave;, etc.) can by entered
directly. Some languages require that Tux Paint
be switched into an alternate input mode before
entering, and some characters must be composed
using numerous keypresses.
When Tux Paint's locale is set to one of the
supported languages that require an alternate
input mode, press the right [Alt] or
right [Option] key to toggle between the normal
(Latin character) and locale-specific modes.
Currently supported locales, and their input
methods, are listed below. Note: Many fonts do
not include all characters for all languages.
* Japanese -- Romanized Hiragana and
Katakana
* Korean -- Hangul 2-Bul

<dt><b>International Character Input</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>Tux Paint allows inputting characters in different languages.
Most Latin characters (<i>A</i>-<i>Z</i>,
<i>&ntilde;</i>, <i>egrave;</i>, etc.) can by entered directly.
Some languages require that Tux&nbsp;Paint be switched into an
alternate input mode before entering, and some characters must be
composed using numerous keypresses.</p>
<p>When Tux Paint's locale is set to one of the supported
languages that require an alternate input mode, press
the <b>right&nbsp;[Alt]</b> or <b>right&nbsp;[Option]</b> key to
toggle between the normal (Latin character) and locale-specific
modes.</p>
<p>Currently supported locales, and their input methods, are listed
below. <b>Note:</b> Many fonts do not include all characters for
all languages.
<ul>
<li>Japanese &mdash; Romanized Hiragana and Katakana
<li>Korean &mdash; Hangul 2-Bul
</ul>
