I remember that, some time ago, an alternative method to input accented characters worked in texmacs. Now I tried it and it seems to work only partially, at least for the current version of texmacs on a Mac. For example, shift+command+’ followed by o produces ó, shift+command+v followed by c produces č, etc. The trouble is that now I don’t know how to type e.g. ä using this method, since I would need to type shift+command+” followed by a, but the shift, being a part of the shortcut for ‘ , does not rise ‘ to “ as it normally would. Maybe this is a problem with standard Mac shortcuts taking precedence over texmacs shortcuts? 

I remember this used to work nicely though (and I remember the shortcuts did not include shift on my mac, so shift could be used normally to choose different accents, like ‘ or “). Maybe on Linux or Windows the shortcuts are different, so you could try typing something like alt+. followed by c to type ċ (if alt does not work try other special keys, maybe with shift also).

Anyway, this used to be a really nice and handy method to input accented characters, even in situations when you don’t have access to an international keyboard layout on some machine you were working on. 

Cheers,

Peter.

When typesetting non-ASCII characters into TeXmacs, I just use my normal input method, same as any other program on my PC. This works fine (I'm on Linux using US alt-intl with dead keys), though I have seen issues when I try to do this on Windows. How do you normally type Maltese characters in other apps?

I just successfully pasted those letters into TeXmacs and they appear with
the correct glyphs. Thus, it must be possible to typeset Maltese.

How can I get TeXmacs to typeset Maltese documents?

According to the documentation for this package, Maltese uses ċ ġ ħ ż
as the letters with diacritics.
