Input method for Greek accented letters
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:11:59 UTC
Hello, The default input method for GTK+ 2.x lacks support for Greek accented letters. This is unfortunate, and causes Greek users to switch to the X Input Method for each text widget they need to type in. So I've made a patch for gtk/gtkimcontextsimple.c that corrects this issue, by adding all the necessary compose sequences. It has been tested and found to work, so please apply. Oh, it would also be nice to resolve bug #104862 before applying this. Although none of the two depends on the other, strictly speaking, it's still a good idea. Thanks, Vasilis

Looks fine for committing to me, gtk-2-2 and HEAD. (If you are interested in accented greek, adding a shape engine to Pango to do accented greek well may be an interesting thing to tackle; it would be good if Pango could both render decomposed text with precomposed forms, and render precomposed forms with combining accents if the font doesn't have the precomposed forms.)
