Re: Workaround for X11 pasting problem with iso8859-15

The apps are broken, and so is XFree86. That is an X Compound Text Encoding extended segment, and use of those for members of the ISO 8859 family is specifically prohibited by the standard, as revised by XFree86 as well as in the X.org original. One of these days I'll add code to deal with this lunacy, but I don't know if it will go into the 21.4 series or not. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
