No. This is NOT a duplicate. On a German keyboard, this letter is
produced using the "´" key and then "e". You cannot need "AltGr" to
produce it. Please REMOVE the "duplicate" tag.

Status in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
On a MacBook Pro rev. 3, Ubuntu 8.10 64-Bit fully updated cannot produce the letter "é" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89). I am not sure if this occured from the very start. Maybe this is due to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/67188 which came with some update.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-ubuntu-title/+bug/256614 also relates to this letter. I am not quite sure whether there is a connection.

There are various other bug reports relating to the MacBook Pro keyboard. Generally, there is no autodetection and full support for this keyboard yet. Maybe this is related in some way. References:
