Problems with Latin-2 fonts/keyboard

Hi all.

I have a need for Latin-2 character set support. It is also known as
ISO-8859-2.

I have downloaded and installed appropriate fonts in
/var/X11/fonts/user/* directories and now my Netscape communicator
correctly displayes HTML pages that were created on FrontPage with CE
fonts, CP-1250 encoding. So far, so good.

What I want now is to be able to enter some text using these characters.
I made a keyboard mapping using dxkeycaps (it has support for Latin-2)
and ... it doesn't work!

When I press a key that I've mapped to (say) "cacsan", there is no
output.

I've glanced man pages about NLS, but I was hopin I wouldn't have to go
through it. Now it seams I'll have to.

Are there good pointers on how to setup Digital UNIX 4.0D to fully
support custom NLS? I mean, we're not listed as a supported national
group.

TYIA,
Nix.
