Description monnier 2005-04-27 08:43:03 UTC

When switching from a latin-1 to a utf-8 locale, I noticed that the compose
sequences I was using don't work any more.  It turns out that only the "prefix"
style sequences are available, whereas the "postfix" style sequences are missing.

E.g. In both ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 locales, I can use <Multi_key> <eacute> <e> to
get é, but <Multi_key> <e> <eacute> only works in ISO-8859-1 locales.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

What is the estimation on when this almost four year old high priority bug will be solved? The implementation is not that difficult. I hope it will be fixed son.

Since there are very few people working on maintaining X.Org's compose files,
and no one has submitted a patch with this fix, there is no estimate on when
someone will get around to this.   If you'd like to accelerate it, please
submit a patch.
