Kent did you get any response to this? I have been wrestling with a
similar problem for my wife's benefit - she's Hungarian.
1. Make sure you have the necessary fonts installed.
2. Install OPenOffice
3. Change to the French/German keyboard map
setxkbmap fr ????
Y0u should be able to type in French now, and print too.
At least that's how it worked here - much easier than I had feared!
There is a "setting up an international keyboard" HOWTO which was most
helpful!
