Great. Can you either send me the compose files, or point me to the correct cvs directory? I dont want to check out the entire source tree to get two files :) In the mean time, I also stumbled across an updated version of the debian-utf8 howto: http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/debian-utf8/howto.html They mention a compose map by Pablo Saratxaga, but I didnt get a chance to try it out yet. > Note that the above applies to current XFree86 CVS; I don't know what > the status of 4.2.0 is.

I havent noticed any problems so far, but I'm not using it thought the entire X Window system. My general locale is en_US, and I set it to en_US.UTF-8 only if TERM=xterm|screen. This is mainly because I use gnome, which is unable to display any text if I try to use unicode. Would 4.2.0 libs help with that problem? Thanks, Norbert
