The characters Å (Aring) and å (aring) are part of ISO 8859-1, yet the
compose key sequences for them that involve dead_abovering are only
defined for 8859-4. I see no valid reason for this restriction
(which annoys me because <Multi_key><a><asterisk>, the only available
alternative, is harder on my fingers). So I suggest adding the appropriate
lines to the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-{1,15}/Compose files, namely:
<dead_abovering> <A> : "\305" Aring
<dead_abovering> <a> : "\345" aring
and optionally also:
<dead_abovering> <space> : "\260" degree
This should probably be passed upstream, unless it's fixed in 3.9.* .

Hi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose do now contain
all the requested compose sequences. Quite strangely, iso8859-15
does define Aring and aring as in iso8859-1, but not degree.
As this symbol can also be obtained by <dead_circumflex> <0>,
this is certainly not a problem, so I am closing this bug.
Thanks for your report.
Denis
