ok,so that is what i could make to work..the é and ã are working..but the ć isnt.

that is my xorg.conf the part of the keyboard..

Section"InputDevice"
Identifier"Keyboard0"
Driver"keyboard"
Option"CoreKeyboard"
Option"XkbModel""pc105"
Option"XkbLayout""us-intl.iso15"
Option"XKbOptions"""
EndSection


I have tested all the other keys,everything work as they should...so it is 99% solved..only rest to get the ć to work..
and now im going to sleep..almost 10pm heare in brazil..
see ya

In antiX, open a terminal and type as user:
setxkbmap -model armada -layout us -variant alt-intl

Open abiword and test.
