While several compose key combinations do work (e.g. i + period for idotless or c + comma for ccedilla) there are many that don't. Bug #74344 (open and close double quotes) appears to be one example of this. In addition I have not been able to produce anything with a caron, breve or ogonek, nor that L-slash thing you get in Polish, nor any fractions, nor an emdash or an endash - at least not by the combinations listed at http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/nls/Compose/en_US.UTF-8?view=co (e.g. 'a' + 'v' | 'g' + 'u' | 'u' + 'a' | 'L' + '-' | '1' + '2' | '-' + '-' + '.' ). Most of these combinations don't produce any character at all (only a brief flicker on the screen), except for the endash and emdash combinations, which produce '-.' and '--' respectively. I have tried a number of fonts, including arial and gentium. I know that at lleast one of these characters works in these fonts because I was able to paste a g-breve from a webpage into Abiword and change its font. The problem occurs equally in Abiword and SeaMonkey. ** Affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Several compose key combinations don't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74360 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
