Bug #7356
closed
/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose is buggy
100%
Description
Currently, file /usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose does not allow a user to enter Greek letters with tonos and/or dialytika.
This are marks that go above letters and are part of the Greek script. It seems the problem occurs because OI is using a buggy
Compose file from the Oracle Solaris distribution. Instead, it is necessary to use a file like the following one:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/plain/nls/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose.pre?id=libX11-1.5.0
This file is not directly usable since one has to replace all XCOMM strings with a #. But making this
change is a task of trivial difficulty, I cannot be 100% sure, but it is quite possible that other such Compose
files might be buggy.

As discussed with Apostolos, Compose patches from X11 gate seem to be the issue and should be deprecated as upstream did.
