[m17n-lib:00346] Re: mim syntax: mapping XKB non-ascii to non-ascii

Hello, thanks for your quick response. A few troubles, however:

I tried "acaron" for "Ã", that is what both xev and keysymdef.h say.  The
whole file is like this:

 (title "Latin-LOCAL")
 (map (trans ("b" "BBB") ((dollar) ("$$$")) ((aacute) "AAA") ((nonsense) "nonsense") ))
 (state (init (trans)))

The map itself works (tested by b â BB), but neither "dollar" (which is
perfectly ASCII) neither "aacute" work as expected. Apparently symbol
existence is not checked beforehand as "nonsense" does not make the mim
not to be loaded.

Anyway, I noticed that I have libm17n-0 version 1.2.0 (ubuntu dapper), I
will try to upgrade to use debian unstable 1.3.1 packages, if that can
make a difference here. I will get back if that changes anything.

My version returns invalid paths (like /usr/share/unicode.mim instead of
/usr/share/m17n/unicode.mim), but that might be version / packaging
issue and certainly is not important for me at the moment.
