There might still be some problems left in hardy. I upgraded from gutsy,
where I was able to write polytonic Greek with XIM after I replaced the
Compose file with a modified one. After upgrading to hardy (beta -- now
up to date as of 2008-04-20) I found that I was not able to type dasia
or psili anymore (with XIM, previously shift+ä and shift+ö + plus letter
produced the breathings -- ä and ö being the two keys left from L in my
keyboard) -- pressing them did not produce anything.
Then I modified /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr file, keys AC10 and AC11
to
key <AC10> { [ dead_acute, dead_dasia ] }; // ´ ̓
key <AC11> { [ dead_grave, dead_psili ] }; // `
According to a freedesktop.org bug (unfortunately I don't have the link
right here, if I recall, Simos Xenitellis who also subscribes to this
bug, commented/opened it.
This didn't change anything.
Then I changed dead_dasia to U0313 and dead_psili to U0314 -- Now I am
able to type the breathing marks, but they don't combine with other
accents -- acute is just written over the breathing, for instance.
I seems that the fixes that are in hardy are not complete. What has
changed since gutsy, where I had perfect output, just after modifying
the Compose file?
