Re: Bug#436923: psili/dasia problem (Aarghhh!)

Hopefully distributions have picked it up, though. Αλέξανδρος but after it is and the new keysyms start being used, Αλέξανδρος this will be fixed once and for all... With xproto-7.0.11 (for the key syms), current xlib (for the Compose file) and current xkeyboard-symbols (for the XKB data) it should all work. -JimC -- James Cloos [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
Re: Experiments with classical Greek keyboard input
Jan == Jan Willem Stumpel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Jan setxkbmap gr(polytonic)+level3(lwin_switch) Jan It should be possible to change from the default keyboard to classical Jan Greek (and back) by some hotkey instead of a setxkbmap command. You can accomplish that part by specifying multiple keymaps on the setxkbmap line. I use this command for my standard setup: setxkbmap -layout us,el,ru,il -variant ,,phonetic,phonetic \ -option ctrl:nocaps -option grp_led:scroll \ -option compose:menu -option grp:ctrls_toggle \ -option altwin:super_win that gives me four layouts (the max that can be set at any given time) which I can scroll through by pressing both control keys together ( that is the grp:ctrls_toggle option). When I am in anything other than the us map the scroll lock led is on (the grp_led:scroll option). I also have the cap lock key be a control key and the menu key a compose key. Or at least I used to. el no longer works for me. (The goal was to cover Latin/Greek/Cyrillic; I thru il in as well just cause I could) I also lack a good key to waste as a level3 key. (The laptop lacks a right win key¹ and I use the left win key for icewm.) -JimC ¹ In fact the Fn key plus the left win key generates the keycode of the right win key, but it cannot be used as a modifyier because non-Fn-special keys are ignored when holding down Fn -- James H.

Re: Weird behaviour of emacs
David == David Sumbler [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: David If I save the file in emacs-mule format, a lower case 'alpha' David appears as bytes [92 a6 c1] in case (a), and [9c f4 a7 b1] in David case (b). Other characters show similar differences. Given that your file is in 2022-JP, the correct behavior according to the unicode standard is to convert any greek or cyrillic in it to the wide compatability chars rather than normal greek or cyrillic chars. This is an artifact of unicode's round-trip guarantee for legacy char sets and the inclusion of wide greek and cyrillic in the legacy cjk character standards. Ensuring font support for both ranges is a bit of a pain. You'll have to play around with fontsets to get both ranges to display in the gui. For the terminal you'll need to have it use a font that covers both. (Generally it will use one font for narrow and another for wide, it shouldn't be too hard to find a couple that work well together and that have enough coverage. As an example, the 9x18 and 18x18 bdf fonts should do it.) If you are using a terminal app that uses like gnome-terminal Pango () it will use a substitute font for any missing glyphs. -JimC -- James H.
