Hello!

GNU Emacs does not handle the dead keys on my keyboard correctly. In  
its appearance as Emacs the are correctly handled:

	^ <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	^ <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	´ <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	` <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	¨ <ns-insert-working-text> <ns-delete-working-text>
	~ C-h l

The X client about all of them: "<xxx> is undefined."

When I insert

	(load-library "iso-transl")

into *scratch* buffer and type C-j, I get:

	^^'`"~

and in *Help* buffer:

	<dead-circumflex> SPC <S-dead-circumflex> SPC <dead-acute> SPC <S- 
dead-grave> SPC <dead-diaeresis> SPC <dead-tilde> SPC C-h l

Obviously <S-dead-grave> is misunderstood – it should be <S-dead- 
acute> – and inserted as in xterm or uxterm as

	        character: ' (39, #o47, #x27)
	preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
	       code point: 0x27
	           syntax: ' 	which means: prefix
	         category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646 IRV:1983 
[4/0]) l:Latin
			   r:Japanese roman
	      buffer code: #x27
	        file code: #x27 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)

while it should be

	        character: ´ (180, #o264, #xb4)
	preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
	       code point: 0xB4
	           syntax: _ 	which means: symbol
	         category: h:Korean j:Japanese l:Latin
	      buffer code: #xC2 #xB4
	        file code: #xC2 #xB4 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)

as in Emacs.app or Carbon Emacs (22.2). In xterm and uxterm the dead  
keys compose accented characters. The same characters are also  
composed in the X client after iso-transl was loaded.

Hi Peter, I'm having trouble understanding how to reproduce this. Would
I need your specific keyboard? If so, what kind is it? If not, can you
give me more concrete steps to reproduce?

Hello Andrew!

GNU Emacs 23.0.60 is long ago and actually I don't have that version around anymore – problems with updated dynamic shared libraries.

My keyboard was then the German keyboard of an Apple PowerBook G4 (now it's that of a MacBook). Some keyboard shortcuts in Mac OS X seem to be bound to particular positions so that they make no sense with the German layout (US American ; or ' become German ö and ä for example). Could be the problem was then that I could not compose accented letters in GNU Emacs that worked in Carbon Emacs, the native Mac OS X or Aqua version.

Anyway, the problem was then, seven years ago, the lack of Unicode support or my inability to use it properly, so that I had to use ISO translations then because I need for European languages support more than a set of US-ASCII 7-bit characters.

I think that you can simply close that old bug report. With Unicode support GNU Emacsen 23, 24, 25 work alright.
