Okay, after looking into this a bit more, it seems I was looking at the wrong table, for locale identifiers rather than input locale identifiers. Checking [1], it seems clear that 0x1009 ('Canadian French') should map to layout ca variant fr and 0x0c0c (which is described as 'Canadian French (legacy)') to layout ca variant fr-legacy. So I'll update the keyboard layout mapping table appropriately. I'll also add the 0x11009 ('Canadian Multilingual Standard') mapped to layout ca variant multix, which has been discussed elsewhere.

I couldn't reproduce this, but I'm not sure I'm trying the right thing. Could you give me a step-by-step guide, including what keyboard layout you have selected in Windows, and what compose sequences you are trying that don't work? -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
