Enhanced writing support in GTK+

The GTK+ carries a copy of the compose sequences table that is found in the X.org server. This table was not updated for several years. The update took place and at the same time the table was optimised greatly for size. Now, GTK+ can easily follow the upstream version of the X.org compose file with the aid of a (programming) script that autoconverts to the GTK+ compact table form. Among the (language) scripts now available to the users, we have all precomposed Latin with diacritic marks, Greek Polytonic (Ancient Greek), other scripts, symbols, and many other Unicode characters. We now support over 5000 composed Unicode characters compared to 800 we used to before. Finally, in this talk we discuss what the end-users should expect from this feature, and how to communicate the enhancement in the next release of GNOME.
