Thank you for your answer. I gave a shot to the latest git version, and I'm sorry to say that it is actually worse.
With my current version, the characters present after the decomposed UTF8
characters are simply not displayed.
With the git version, it seems that the hardstatus actually crashes when given
a NFD sequence.
The solution I found is to normalize a given UTF8 into a NFS compatible
sequence. Here is a small python script that does the job:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import unicodedata
if len(sys.argv) == 2:
name = unicodedata.normalize('NFC', unicode(sys.argv[1],
'utf-8')).encode('utf-8') print name
Maybe this can be of some help for you guys.
