Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-12
Severity: normal
This is a 'simultaneous bug' in xkb-data and libx11-data.
In /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr, the keys generating the Classical Greek
'breathing' signs are defined as follows
key <AC10> { [ dead_acute, dead_horn ] };
key <AC11> { [ dead_grave, dead_ogonek ] };
The breathing signs are the "shifted" symbols (dead_horn and dead_ogonek).
This means that these keys do not work in an international UTF-8 locale,
because the international Compose file
(/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose), which has definitions for the
full set of Ancient Greek accent combinations, expects the breathing signs to
be U0313 and U0314 respectively.
The dead_horn and dead_ogonek are only recognized by the Greek UTF-8 Compose
file, /usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose.
The solution is to change dead_horn to U0313 and dead_ogonek to U0314 both in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr and in
/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose. It is important to do this
simultaneously.
That way it will become possible to enter Classical Greek correctly both in
"international" and Greek UTF-8 locales. I expect, in fact, that the reason
for having a separate Greek UTF-8 compose file will then largely disappear
(although with the proposed changes in place, there will no longer be any
harm in keeping it).
Regards, Jan
