Input Special Characters Problem
Hi,
I love using Mnemosyne, and I have been using it for almost a year now. However, I have always had this problem with inputing special characters/script (all Unicode). When I go to add a card for my Sanskrit deck I cannot type in devanagari or in latin characters with diacritical marks (all Unicode based). I normally use Tavultesoft's Keyman keyboards to type in different scripts or to use type in transliteration scripts with diacritical marks. I do not have a problem typing in devanagari or latin devanagari transliteration using Keyman in any other program on my computer (Word, Firefox, Notepad, Thunderbird, etc.). However, in Mnemosyne the cursor usually backs up a space and displays a blank space instead of the character I typed. I simply cannot input Unicode text into Mnemosyne using Keyman.
What's weird is that I can type the necessary characters in an outside program and copy & paste into Mnemosyne. The pasted script/characters display perfectly. Also, if I type up flashcards in an outside .txt file I can import the cards into Mnemosyne and the characters again display perfectly. Again, I simply cannot input the characters using Mnemosyne itself (yes, I have changed the settings to use the appropriate fonts).
This is very annoying because often I simply need to add a few cards that I recently came across and would like to add them quickly using Mnemosyne's Add a Card feature. It becomes a hassle to always copy & paste or import.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Phillip
