Perhaps you could try the lastest xkeyboard-config from git and confirm that the change is correct :-) If you have any other issues with the xkeyboard-config data for the german keyboard layout, it might be more efficient to engage directly with the xkeyboard-config maintainer, as he has a lot more expertise in this area than I do.

For example, after reading [3], I'm wondering if the reason for this behaviour is that typists had the habit of pressing the acute key for an apostrophe. On the one hand, it's been this way for at least 5 years, so people may be used to this behaviour. On the other hand, it's inconsistent with the rule that produces , and inconsistent across locales what this sequence produces: jon@byron /jhbuild/checkout/xorg/lib/libX11/nls master $ grep -r "^ " * el_GR.UTF-8/Compose.pre: : "΄" U0384 en_US.UTF-8/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe # APOSTROPHE fi_FI.UTF-8/Compose.pre: : "´" # ACUTE ACCENT iso8859-1/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe iso8859-14/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe iso8859-15/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe iso8859-2/Compose.pre: : "\264" acute iso8859-3/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe iso8859-7/Compose.pre: : "\264" acute iso8859-9/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe iso8859-9e/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe vi_VN.tcvn/Compose.pre: : "'" apostrophe vi_VN.viscii/Compose.pre:: "'" apostrophe [1] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel [2] http://www.x.org/wiki/DeveloperStart [3] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/apostrophe.html -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Xemacs - Choosing an alternate font.
Hi - I am attempting to use Xemacs with Cygwin to edit an A+ script which requires a special font. I have: installed the required fonts in /usr/share/fonts/misc added the fonts to /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias successfully run "mkfontdir" and "xset fp rehash" After I run "startxwin" and fire up Xemacs the font that gets used is "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" When I use the "Options" menu and go to "Fonts" many fonts show up including the one that I want (Kapl), Bitstream Vera Sans Mono has the filled in green diamond indicating that it is the current font selected. Any attempt to switch to any other font fails. Any suggestions? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
