As a matter of fact, I have a compose key under Gnome but I cannot compose this character. I copied it from the /usr/share/dictd/freedict-nld-eng.index contained in this package. In Dutch the ij combination simply is written as an i followed by a j. Please update the index file to also include this combination so dict can be easily used from the command line. Thanks in advance. Imho it'd even be better if it got substituded, not augmented. E.g. the word aanblijven is spelled aanblijven, not aanblijven. I can substitute all occurrences of 'ij' to 'ij' in deu-nld, eng-nld, fra-nld, nld-deu, nld-eng and nld-fra dictionaries. But will it be rightly with respect to the Dutch language? If it will be only easier use from the command line, I don't want to do this change. In his case it would be better to find the suitable console font. If these changes meet the requirements of the Dutch language, I will do it, but I want that you explain it very clearly (for forwarding this explanation to the upstream authors). Well, the problem, imho, is that ij is a special case in Dutch language. The official language rules are maintained by the Nederlandse Taalunie (Dutch Language Union). Please have a look at http://woordenlijst.org/ If you click 2 Klinkers en tweeklanken you'll see ij spelt with two characters. More info (unfortunately also in Dutch) can be found here http://woordenlijst.org/leidraad/2/9/ In all cases, ij is spelt as two characters.
