The forum

Bonjour,
Un message que j'ai posté sur le forum de Wine ; sans réponse.
Merci

I'm running PlayOnLinux 4.2.1 on Ubuntu 13.10. I installed Office 2010 and try to solve my problem with several 32 bits Wine versions : 1.7.11 and 1.5.31. I have another computer PlayOnLinux 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and Wine 1.7.11 and there is no problem. And I'm using a french keyboard (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Clavier-Azerty.svg/1000px-Clavier-Azerty.svg.png).

Before installing another PPA to get the latest version (4.2.2), here is my problem. In every Office application and in the windows terminal :

• special characters with accent which have their own key, ie. é (under 2) or è (under 7) are displayed correctly;
• special characters with accent which don't have their own key, ie. ê (first ^ next to P then e) or ë (first shift+^ next to P then e) are not working at all (nothing displayed);

One weird thing is that these sequences are working in the options dialog (File > Options/Settings).

Thanks for any help

Same here. 13.10 64bits, POL 4.2.2, wine 1.5.16... I did not have this problem with my previous installation on Linux Mint 32 bits (based upon Ubuntu 12.04 32bits), pol 4.2.1, wine 1.5.16, which is odd!

It is not a Ubuntu issue as I've got the same problem with Fedora 18 and Fedora 20

I had this problem,and there is an easy fix, but I could not find the original thread that had helped me. The problem lies with Ubuntu (or whichever distribution you are using), not with wine or playonlinux.
