define-composed-chars had the following combination defined: 'E' + '?' = 'Ë' The '?' is used to add tildes, though. So it should be: 'E' + ':' = 'Ë' 'Ẽ' and 'ẽ' (capital 'E' and small 'e' with tildes) are \u1ebc and \u1ebd, respectively. This patch moves 'Ë' to the right set of characters (diaeresis/umlaut) and adds 'Ẽ' and 'ẽ' to the tilde set. 'Ẽ' and 'ẽ' don't show properly in my terminal font, so, sorry if I've mixed anything -- the three characters in question are: \u00cb 00cb LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS Ẽ 1ebc LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH TILDE ẽ 1ebd LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH TILDE Patch is against current CVS. I assume that's what's desired. Same with my having attached it (rather than inline). Please chide me if either assumption is wrong. I expect I'll be submitting more patches. (not just for this issue) Best, Ben
