The same for capital letters - I get Ǔ but I should get Ů. The workaround I use is to set ~/.XCompose to include "%S/en_US.UTF-8/Compose" <u> : "ů" U016F # LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE <U> : "Ů" U016E # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE This is already defined in /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-2/Compose , but one would have to use iso8859-2 instead of UTF-8: <U> : "\331" Uring <u> : "\371" uring (of course the binary value for Uring is different in iso8859-2 and UTF-8, so it can't be fixed by straight copy/paste) I don't understand the xkb too well, but I guess that there should be new directory and file /usr/share/X11/locale/cs_CZ.UTF-8/Compose which would contain something similar to what I have in ~/.XCompose Please note that it does not seem to be logical to use dead_caron for ring above u, but since we don't use ring above any other letter, and ǔ does not exist in czech, it's very convenient to have it print ů. This way it works on czech keyboards since ever. It's interesting that I have hard time finding evidence that it should be set this way. For example https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pdt/Support/czech-info.html The ring accent can occur only above an "u" where, in contrary, no caron can occur. That is why many keyboards use the sequence "dead caron" - "u"/"U" to enter an "u" with ring above. However, other keyboards (including Microsoft Windows, I guess) alocate a "dead ring" key elsewhere, often to shifted semicolon, replacing the U.S. key for tilde. https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2003/11/msg00235.html Thank you __ Vlad Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable XIM input method by putting this into your .profile: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim export QT_IM_MODULE=xim export LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 2. restart X so that the options take effect 2.5 start xterm 3. set czech keyboard map setxkbmap "us,cz(qwerty)" -option grp:shifts_toggle -option ctrl:swapcaps 4. switch into czech map by pressing both shifts together 5. Press dead_caron (shift + key "=" which should normally produce character "+") 6. Press letter "u" 7. ǔ appears, but I should see ů Actual Results: ǔ appears Expected Results: I should see ů -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
