Re: One key stroke -- two code-points

Re: One key stroke -- two code-points
Thanks Simos !! Actually, we have had these additions for a while in X11. We will do an issue for GTK+, and use the variable meanwhile. What file is it in GTK+? I have not been able to find it.

Hi Javier, Checking at http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/lib/libX11.git;a=tree;f=nls/en_US.UTF-8 does not show these lines at the end. It is possible that these compose sequences were added as a patch to the distribution package. We will do an issue for GTK+, and use the variable meanwhile. What file is it in GTK+?

Therefore, the type of support you are looking for is similar to compose sequences that result to letter+diacritic mark.

Specifically, for the Latin compose sequences, such as (it's a made up example) dead_acute t : t́ # LETTER T WITH ACUTE one could convert to something like[ dead_acute, 't', 0]. We would put 0 for the resulting codepoint because we can deduce for this category of compose sequences that the actual codepoints are 't' and 'acute' (the resulting codepoints match the body of the compose sequence). However, for the case of Khmer, the compose sequences look independent from the resulting code points. Therefore, a new table should be required.

Re: One key stroke -- two code-points
Thanks, Simos for your kind and time. Much appreciated to Javier for brought a good solution indeed. Lao input method is need a similar solution. Javier please post your solution (where and how to define a new table for Khmer) so I can define these code points for Lao.
