-4.20  Luxi fonts from Bigelow and Holmes
+4.20  Xlib Compose file support and extensions
+
+A more flexible Compose file processing system was added to Xlib in XFree86
+4.4.0.  The compose file is searched for in the following order:
+
+  1.  If the environment variable $XCOMPOSEFILE is set, its value is used as
+      the name of the Compose file.
+
+  2.  If the user's home directory has a file named ".XCompose", it is used
+      as the Compose file.
+
+  3.  The old method is used, and the compose file is "<xlocaledir>/<locale-
+      name>/Compose".
+
+Compose files can now use an "include" instruction.  This allows local modi-
+fications to be made to existing compose files without including all of the
+content directly.  For example, the system's iso8859-1 compose file can be
+included with a line like this:
+
+     include "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose"
+
+There are two substitutions that can be made in the file name of the include
+instruction.  %H expands to the user's home directory (the $HOME environment
+variable), and %L expands to the name of the locale specific Compose file
+(i.e., "<xlocaledir>/<localename>/Compose").
+
+For example, you can include in your compose file the default Compose file by
+using:
+
+     include "%L"
+
+and then rewrite only the few rules that you need to change.  New compose
+rules can be added, and previous ones replaced.
+
+Finally, it is no longer necessary to specify in the right part of a rule a
+locale encoded string in addition to the keysym name.  If the string is omit-
+ted, Xlib figures it out from the keysym according to the current locale.
+I.e., if a rule looks like:
+
+     <dead_grave> <A> : "\300" Agrave
+
+the result of the composition is always the letter with the "\300" code.  But
+if the rule is:
+
+     <dead_grave> <A> : Agrave
+
+the result depends on how Agrave is mapped in the current locale.
