It works for Gtk+ applications (doh, I think it's spelt Gtk these days?), it doesn't for plain X, much less for the Linux VC. Dunno about Qt. This is indeed a sad situation. Debian goes to some lengths to unify X and the VCs -- whereas all the "user-experience-y" GUIs out there seem to go out of their way to break as much as they can -- as if they were competitors for market share. I guess some anti-patterns are just hard to unlearn. In this context I've to thank you, David, for your heroic effort, and thanks for writing so nicely about it!

You might have more luck with the Unicode input method, CTRL-SHIFT-U, then the hexadecimal code [1] For characters you use often, you can set up a compose sequence.

Unicode in GIMP Text Tool.
Can GIMP accept and display a Unicode glyph beyond plain old ASCII. The "South West Arrow", & # 2199; for example. (Spaces inserted after & and # to prevent interpretation.) If so, how? Thanks, ... P. -- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon Tel: +1 604 670 0140Bcc: peter at easthope. ca
