    Alright, so, I'm having a bit of an issue here. I use the US International AltGr layout, but I've still found no way to type a big part of the lithuanian alphabet. For those of you that don't know, here are the vowels(copy and pasted):

    A Ą E Ę Ė I Į Y O U Ų Ū

    and consonants:

    B C Č D F G H J K L M N P R S Š T V Z Ž

    Any ideas?

    You probably need an actual Russian keyboard. Russian doesn't use the latin alphabet like English, German, Spanish, French, Lithuanian, Romanian, etc., it uses Cryllic. Maybe you could change your OS to the russian alphabet and then just put stickers on the keys showing what they press? It's quite a hack.
