In-Reply-To: <93893797-1486-4130-A050-F260B9E8AEA2@Freenet.DE> (Peter Dyballa's message of "Sun, 30 Dec 2007 16:04:36 +0100")
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.
