Yes 'a gives á, but `a doesn't produce à and this seems to sustain your 
clue about the AltGr key because ` character uses this key....

To answer to your 2nd mail about the AltGr key used to type the ~ 
character, I don't understand why this could be the culprit. I use emacs 
as a text éditor with a loaded sanskrit2.el file giving a way to type ñ 
very similar to the way used in the latn-pre.mim file : the lisp syntax 
is the same:

  ("~n" ["ñ"])
  ("~N" ["Ñ"])

(see the attached file)

And it perfectly works in emacs using the AltGr key.

Thank you for any help.

Regards
