To get International Dvorak for Snow Leopard

Question

How can you have International Dvorak for Snow Leopard?

I need A with dots dot O with dots for Dvorak.

OS X has four types of Dvoraks, but none of them is Dvorak International like in Debian and many other Linux and BSD distros.

I'm using the standard English Dvorak, but can type accents quite easily. For dots over a letter (umlaut), type Option+U, then the letter you want. Option+C is ç, Option+E is for an ´ over the letter, Option+I gives ^, Option+` gives `, etc.

There is a custom made dvorak variation called ArkkuDvorak that I use. It's intended for Finnish but works relatively well for other Scandinavian languages as well.

Here is the keylayout file for OS X that is installed by copying the file into /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ on the system drive.

You can use Ukelele to create your own keyboard layouts. The dmg contains Dvorak.keylayout and DVORAK-QWERTYCMD.keylayout, nothing like Dvorak International though.

I don't know about the one in Debian, but there isn't any standard international version of Dvorak AFAIK. The closest thing I found was arjenvankol.com/dvorak.php, but it doesn't have a download for an OS X .keylayout.
