Dear all,

XFree86 now ships with a compose table for UTF-8. I've just had a user
complaining that this table does not work for Macedonian.

I prepared some UTF-8 Compose tables by automatic generation from the
official Unicode tables.

They are in http://www.di.ens.fr/~monniaux/download/

More particularly:
http://www.di.ens.fr/~monniaux/download/Compose_autogen.2.utf-8

This table is huge. It could be possible to shorten it by enforcing a
certain order for keystrokes; for instance, e acute could be reached only
by Multi_key e ' and not by Multi_key ' e. The ISO-8859-1 compose map
allows multiple orders, the current UTF-8 table does not.

I'd like people working in exotic languages to test this table and give me
feedback. For now, I know that the order of some keystrokes for Vietnamese
is not very logical. This is due to the way the official Unicode table
describes the character composition.


Regards,
