Description Einars Lielmanis 2007-12-10 23:12:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

u+0123, latin small letter g with cedilla isn't processed by utf8x.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Try to process the following latex document:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
\section{Latvian alphabet}
aābcčdeēfgģhiījkķlļmnņoprsštuūvzž
AĀBCČDEĒFGĢHIĪJKĶLĻMNŅOPRSŠTUŪVZŽ
\end{document}

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a file test.ltx with the specified contents
2. latex test.ltx
  
Actual results:

./test.ltx:8:Package ucs Error: Unknown Unicode character 291 = U+0123,(ucs)
possibly declared in uni-1.def. aābcčdeēfgģ

Expected results:

proper dvi/pdf file generated.

Additional info:

What's surprising, is, only the small g is affected, not the captial one. Of
course, \v{g} can be used instead, if inconvenient.
Comment 1 Aurelien Bompard 2007-12-11 05:39:20 UTC 
Thanks for filing this bug, but you'd be better off reporting this upstream,
since there is very little chance this has anything to do with the Fedora packaging.
Thanks.

This problem still exists using MiKTeX 2.9 to resolve it

C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\latex\ucs\uni-1.def

Change line:
\uc@dclc{291}{dirty}{\leavevmode\vbox{\baselineskip\z@skip\ialign{\hss##\hss\crcr\vbox to.65ex{\hbox{\char"60}\vss}\crcr g\crcr}}}%

to

\uc@dclc{291}{default}{\v g}%
