Sorry, I have just realized that the example I wrote in my first mail
is not displayed
as I see it on the screen (but maybe this is a different problem with
my email client that
I have to fix later. I was using Mutt+Moe, now I'm writing in gmail
with plan text).

Well, this is what happens when writing a file in moe:
Thí s is an exá mple of what is displá ed when wrí ting.

You can see the vowels correctly accented, no question marks, but
extra spaces are added.

It only happens at the very moment when you are writing. If you save
the file with F2, you
can still see the spaces. If you close the file with Ctrl + x and open
it again or you
cat the file, the text is correct without extra spaces.

By the way, I have detected another issue. If I try to write a capital
accented vowel like Á,
this time a question mark appears with the following message:
Key code 129(0x81) ignored.

I've tried that, but it did not fix it.

Let me show you some details about the configuration of the console
and keyboard.
- Console.
It is an interactive login shell invoked after boot with agetty, I mean
it is not a GUI console. The framebuffer supports graphics.

Regarding the environmental and console variables:
LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-15@euro
TERM=Linux
FONT=lat0-16

- Keyboard
According to 'kbd_mode' the keyboard is set in Unicode mode (UTF-8), the map
is es ('loadkeys es').

Thank you!
