Bug#649201: console-setup: ckbcomp transforms "dead_abovering" wrongly
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.68+squeeze2
Severity: normal
"ckbcomp" translates "dead_abovering" to * (asterisk, 0x2A)
instead of ° (degree, 0xB0).
Line in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/is:
key <AD11> { [ eth, ETH, dead_diaeresis, dead_abovering ] };
[ There are some errors in the position of characters in this
file (separate bug report). ]
Line in cached.kmap:
keycode 26 = +0xf0 +0xd0 dead_diaeresis 0x2a dead_diaeresis dead_diaeresis ...
Compose-lines must be added to
"/etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-1.inc":
compose '°' 'a' to 'å'
compose '°' 'A' to 'Å'
Variables used by "ckbcomp":
CHARMAP="ISO-8859-1"
acm_option="-charmap $CHARMAP"
rules_option=''
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="is"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="compose:menu"
The name of the code 0xB0 is "RING ABOVE, DEGREE SIGN" in
ISO 8859-1:1987, but "DEGREE SIGN" in Unicode, as the name "RING
ABOVE" has a separate code there.
