Windows is different...
When I was running FC3 (I'm on 4, now), I enabled international
character generation by pressing a meta key (whatever I defined to be
the compose key), then the crude approximation of the accents I wanted
to add to a letter (commas for dangly bits below, apostrophes for
ascending accents, etc), then the letter. Similarly, to get the æ
ligature, I'd hit the compose key, then a, then e, and I'd get the
ligature.
For example, if I understand what character you're trying to type in, I
get the ç by hitting in sequence: the right "Windows" key, the comma,
the c key.
Is that the technique that you're using? Because there's, apparently, a
few different ways to type in these characters, and you might get the
answer from someone using the technique you're trying. I had to play
with some keyboard options to set that up, and it was a bit of trial and
error before I got it to work.
