Hello!

When pasting a copy of a filled in text from OmniWeb (a Web browser  
coming from the NeXT) into a file buffer in GNU Emacs (mode-line  
starts with -U:), which was launched with -Q, the German umlauts ä,  
ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü are stripped off their diaereses and mutate to a, o, u,  
A, O, U. Typing C-u C-x = on such a Marcel Duchamps character leads  
to an error message in echo area:

	Format specifier doesn't match argument type

In *Messages* buffer a ``describe-char: ´´is prepended the text.

In dired buffers the same umlauts in file names are stripped, while  
the date fields can display an abbreviated month's name as ``Mär´´.  
Typing on this ä C-c C-x = I get:

	        character: ä (228, #o344, #xe4)
	preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
	       code point: 0xE4
	           syntax: w 	which means: word
	         category: j:Japanese l:Latin
	      buffer code: #xC3 #xA4
	        file code: #xC3 #xA4 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
	          display: by this font (glyph code)
	     -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60- 
ISO8859-1 (#xE4)
	
	Character code properties are not shown: customize what to show
	
	There are text properties here:
	  auto-composed        t
	  fontified            t

instead of an error message. The error message is output when I type  
on as tripped umlaut in a file name!


Looking with GNU Emacs 23.0.50 into the file saved with its stripped  
umlauts I see instead of them ``{äöüÄÖÜ}<an open box>´. This box is  
described in GNU Emacs 23.0.50 as:

	        character:  (332488, #o1211310, #x512c8, U+0308)

Did you configure with --enable-font-backend?  I see the same error with
tibetan characters in the HELLO file, and it goes away when I disable
the xft support.  The error manifests with internal-char-font returning
only a single element list for these characters.

Yes. GNU Emacs launches for me with enabled font backend when I have  
amongst my X resources

	Emacs.FontBackend:              x

instead of

	Emacs.FontBackend:              xft

(which makes it crash) so I see now the bug.

Hello!

Today I did an update from CVS and configured without font-backend.  
The problem stays the same.

I just tried out some file (and file name in dired) where I expected to
find composed character sequences to compare against Peter’s findings.

I didn’t find the composed sequences, but did find that the character
U+1E08 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA AND ACUTE is being displayed
as the glyph for the character U+013D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH CARON.

U+013D itself also gets that glyph.

I have the following in my ~/.emacs:

,----[ excerpt from ~/.emacs ]
| (defun jhc-what-font () "" (interactive)
|   (message "%s" (aref (query-font (font-at (point))) 1)))
`----

and that returns my default font, DejaVu Sans Mono, for U+1E08.

The font does have the needed glyph, and it does display correctly
in other apps.

... Does more searching ...

I did find at least one file with a composed sequence.  It contains a
zero followed by U+0338 COMBINING LONG SOLIDUS OVERLAY.  That pair works
correctly for me in Emacs.  The following line also seems to work,
although I cannot say for sure; it does at least look better than it
does in my terminal app:

,----[ mhadmamrajamapt.utf8 ]
| မဟာဓမ္မရာဇာမ္‌ပတ
`----

This one is definitely ok:

,----[ macron.utf8.txt ]
| m̄ M̄ n̄ N̄ ē Ē ō Ō
| U+0304  ̄
`----

That is all I could find.

I run the unicode-2 branch on an x86 gentoo box using X11 frames.

I can't reproduce that.  Please do M-x load-library RET
descr-text.el RET, M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET, and try C-u
C-x = again.  When you get *Backtrace* buffer, please show
me the contents.

That perhaps means that the umlaut is not stripped off but
just can't be displayed properly.
