If not, will it ever be ? If you're using X you can do it now. The XFree86 3.1.[12] xterm does compose, as does xedit. Emacs-19.30 (when it becomes available) will also use X i18n support for compose. Make sure you have your LANG environment variable set -- pt_PT.ISO8859-1 in your snap, pt_PT.ISO_8859-1 in later versions. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
