Besides the hyphen, I can come up with the traditional quotation marks (U+201E and U+201C) and geresh/gershayim (U+05F3 and U+05F4). I don't see obvious places for the quotations, though; and I'm not sure replacing the single and double quotation marks with the geresh and gershayim is an improvement. Anyway, if your point will be satisfied by renaming the variant from "katef" to, say, "traditional" so that it makes more sense to include other symbols in it, I have no objection whatsoever. All I really want is a variant that behaves like basic, except that it has the maqaf-katef accessible (on second thought, the quotations are a nice-to-have, too; instead of braces?). >But I'm not sure that this is the right place to add them. Isn't that exactly what layout variants are for? What other places do you contemplate? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
