Bug#484077: closed by Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> (Re: Bug#484075: upgrade-reports: Two Greek Polytonic diacritics no longer available)

["Sophia and George Georganas" <sggeorganas@gmail.com>]

I would like to add some information to the bug description.
The problem seems to be in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr file. In the latest version the lines :
    key <AC10> { [    dead_acute,        dead_horn    ] };
    key <AC11> { [    dead_grave,        dead_ogonek    ] };
have been changed to :
    key <AC10> { [    dead_acute,        dead_psili    ] };
    key <AC11> { [    dead_grave,        dead_dasia    ] };
Linguistically speaking, this is the right thing to do.
But one must, also, correct accordingly the /usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose and the   /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose files.
The credit for showing the above is Simos' ( http://simos.info/blog/archives/639 )

It seems that you filed this bug three times.  I'm closing the
duplicates with this message.

Polytonic Greek works in Etch by copying the Greek Compose file into the
US Compose file (sudo cp /usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose) and adding (for GNOME) the
line <GTK_IM_MODULE=xim> to the /etc/environment file. For KDE the
coppying of the Compose file is enough.
Following upgrade to Lenny, the workaround is no longer able to produce
on screen the Psili <᾿> and Dasseia <῾> diacritics, while it keeps
functioning correcτly for Oxeia <΄>, Bareia <`>, Perispomeni <῀>,
Hypogegrammeni <ͺ> and Diairessis <¨> and their various combinations.
