Chip off shoulder, please? I'm not being uncivil. I was just
explaining what I was using. It was pretty easy. I know that on many
Linux distributions that keyboard driver and font support is rather
advanced.

Please, not "my" system. For one thing I presented at least half a
dozen options. I would like the community to engage in a discussion
about some problems the current orthography poses, and will continue
to pose as Klingon progresses into the future. You do expect Klingon
to be around in 2035, don't you? In 2085?

They have to wrestle with that in Hawaiʻi too. And Esperantists have
to deal with it. And learners of Irish. It's not hard and certainly
not insurmountable.
