It seems that these characters are not mapped at all. At least the U+2010.

I think we can map this characters if they not mapped at all.

P.S. Add CC: kbd@lists.

Anyone have any ideas ?

I don't see any problem so I am attaching newlat1-16.psfu with new mappings
U+2010, U+2012, U+2013 and U+2212 to U+002d.

If someone wish to play with and change mappings here it is:

$psfgettable lat1-16.psfu > table.txt

Editing table.txt ---> newtable.txt with our preferences and then

$psfaddtable lat1-16.psfu newtable.txt newlat1-16.psfu.

cheers
Lefteris

For some reason, your newlat1-16.psfu didn't work for me (setfont
complained of bad input file size, psfgettable complained of bad magic
number).  I suspect this was just a download issue.  I followed your other
instructions and have managed to get it working with the font file (also at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~matthew/lat1-16.psfu.gz).

Alexey, is that file suitable for inclusion in kbd, or do you want a patch against
the 'psfgettable' for lat1-16?

Thanks for you help!

Matt.

I think patch is better.

OK, here's the patch against the output of
'pdfgettable lat1-16.psfu lat1-16.table.orig'

I've also added mappings for the 2 'quote' type characters that GCC
outputs in some of its warnings.

Regards,

Matt.
