Hi, all.
I use Inkscape 0.48 in a MacBook with OSX 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard). My X11 server is XQuartz 2.3.6 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple56). My system is configured in Portuguese (Brazilian) language with an US-International keyboard. Character set is UTF-8 for this matter. In any other application accented characters and cedilla works fine. On Inkscape, however, I can't type 'ç' (c with cedilla). When I try to do so the Inkscape prints an accented c: 'ć'. Others characters are fine, this happens only with cedilla.
In this kind of keyboard the accents are produced using two keys sequence. The a acute (á) is produced typing single-quote followed by a. The same is used to type an e acute (é), single-quote followed by e. To type a c with cedilla (ç) the same single-quote followed by c works in any software and system (I also use Inkscape 0.48 on a Windows XP machine) but in the Mac it is printing c with an acute accent (ć).
Any one knows how to solve this?

Unfortunately no, but it seems the same issue as reported in Bug #566820 in Inkscape: “Cedilla don't work correct”: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/566820
Did you try to enter the 'ç' using the Unicode mode of the text tool? 1) in the Text tool (with the text cursor within an active text object), activate Unicode mode with 'Ctrl+u' 2) enter Unicode value: 00e7 3) press <Enter> to end Unicode mode

- in the Text tool (with the text cursor within an active text object),
activate Unicode mode with 'Ctrl+u' 2) enter Unicode value: 00e7 3) press <Enter> to end Unicode mode

Hi, ~suv.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, I'm currently using the Unicode mode to add the cedilla when I need it. It is a little inconvenient but works. I hope the Inkscape team can workout this bug in the next release.
Thanks a lot.
