The conversion tables for MS1258 in sal/textenc/tcvteas1.tab:1.7 appear to be
somewhat naive in that they do not support composed Unicode characters like
U+1ECB LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DOT BELOW.  What works is to map from Unicode

  U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I  U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW

to MS 1258

  0x69 0xF2

but what fails is to map from Unicode

  U+1ECB LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DOT BELOW

to MS 1258

  0x69 0xF2.

In the other direction, MS 1258

  0x69 0xF2

is translated to

  U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I  U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW

instead of the (functionally equivalent)

  U+1ECB LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DOT BELOW

(and in light of that, the current mnMaxCharSize = mnAveCharSize = 1 does make
sense).

I doubt this problem has been addressed for any encoding in sal/textenc that has
combining characters like 0xF2 in MS 1258 (though MS 1258 might be the only such
encoding; I did not bother to check).  Also, this problem touches on the issue
of handling canonical-equivalent Unicode sequences (see
<http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=7099> and
<http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=18475>).

The conversion tables for MS1258 in sal/textenc/tcvteas1.tab:1.7 are based on
<http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1258.TXT>,
which does not directly support composed Unicode characters, either.  Does
anybody have data files exactly which (composed) Unicode characters should be
mapped to which MS 1258 byte sequences?  If yes, I could adapt
sal/textenc/tcvteas1.tab:1.7 accordingly.

[Anyway, I think this problem should be addressed in a fresh issue, linking back
to this original issue for context.]
