According to a thread on the Gnome e-list there are changes to the method used for keyboard input of special characters that people using Fedora 13 have discovered. Here, I am not speaking of typing accented characters as in many languages, because those are "whole characters" where the letter and the diacritic are available as a separate glyph in most fonts. Instead, I am speaking of combining diacritics that are available only in certain fonts.
Apparently the change will require iBus (which I have no understanding of), which will make Ctrl-Shift-u + Unicode value no longer work. That is, it is possible to make it work for gtk+ apps, but not for others, and the default is to disable Ctrl-shift-u for all apps. I have the latest development version: Scribus Version 1.3.6 16 March 2010 Build ID: C-C-T-F-C1.8.8-64bit Using Ghostscript version 8.71 On Fedora 11. Ctrl-shift-u works fine. I was planning on upgrading to Fedora 13 eventually, but it is a one-way street. Going back to Fedora 11 would require a complete reinstall that would take several days of work. If someone here has Scribus on Fedora 13 with Gnome desktop can you please try Ctrl-shift-u and tell me if it still works?
