bug#13203: 24.2.50; latin-1-postfix

[Richard Stallman]

With input method latin-1-postfix, I typed a~.  It was recognized
as a valid combination, but it gave me an ordinary a.

I cannot reproduce that here.  Are you sure it's not a font problem?  Do
other combinations work?

Indeed, that's what it is!

I checked that with C-x = , and I thought I had confirmed it was not
the right character.  But now I see I misunderstood the output I saw,
and it was the right character.  I stared straight at it and
didn't see.

Sorry.

If that was the result of C-u C-x = on that character, then the
character was correctly inserted, which leaves font issues.  Was it in
an X window, or terminal?  Are you able to determine which font was
being used?
