Two things about this forum

You know, classical Latin didn't have diacriticals.  Why couldn't Robert I have been enraptured by that?

1) The ancient Romans used apices to mark long vowels, but those are hard to spot because they are very thin strokes compared to the letters.
2) The oldest forms of Talossan has no diacritics at all. It's pretty funny actually; Talossan went from zero diacritics to way too many of them to a lot of them to reasonable-ish amounts within 40 years.

I hereby declare that we must return to the truest and purest Talossan.

No, as V says, we need to be even purer.

So, one of the things I did a long while back was take the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator and whip up a whole variety of keyboards for Windows.

The particularly relevant ones for this discussion would be the "Other OS US Keyboard Layouts" which cover the Macintosh, Amiga, NeXT, and VT320/Unix compose key-style methods of doing accented characters, several variants on the US-International if you don't get along with the standard Windows US International or want the additions the Linux version has, and a "United States (English and Talossan)" layout that uses combining diacriticals instead of precomposed diacritics (which is to say, instead of supporting typing the precomposed character "á", you type an a and then the combining acute, which your computer backs up to display as "á").

(Using the combining diacritical characters made it possible to support every Talossan orthography ever with much less work on my part than assigning a combo to every precomposed glyph.)

I have looked but is there a way to change the display time to an individual's time zone (i.e. mine should be eastern)? I cannot find the setting anywhere.

Theres no way of setting a timezone as far as I know, instead you have to add the time offset relative to GTA Time. Maybe clicking on auto-detect will help.

Thank you! Not the most intuitive but it fixed it.
