Actually, you CAN type polytonic Greek in the en_US.UTF-8 locale by using the Multi_key. If you type: Multi_key, ')' and an alpha, you'll get U1F01, Greek small letter alpha with dasia, which is polytonic Greek. But that's only useful when you want to insert a single character, not if you will type a whole text. And, AFAIK, the dead_iota, which is used in the en_US.UTF-8 compose file, is specific to polytonic Greek. Some dead keys are there, some are not. Is this a bug? And how am I supposed to type a text in two different languages, both having diacritics, like French and Greek? Shouldn't this be a matter of changing keyboard layouts? Certainly the editor is running in a single locale. Thanks. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
