The current version of t5enc.def (as in the TeXLive repository) gives this: \'i -> à \'\i -> à \`i -> ì \`\i -> ì \~i -> ĩ \~\i -> ĩ \h i -> ỉ \h\i -> ỉ \d i -> ị \d\i -> ị (*) I consider the entry marked with (*) as an error and will probably remove it in an upcoming revision. > In my opinion, this is not the fault of latexuni, but of T5.

The difference between T5 and the other T encodings regarding \~i is justified IMHO. I'm even going to say that the behaviour in the non-T5 encodings is incorrect; they miss entries like \DeclareTextCompositeCommand{\~}{T1}{i}{\~\i} which aren't there because `ĩ' is not used in any other language besides Vietnamese AFAIK, so there was never a need to add them. > BTW: [...] in \~i its seems to me, that the tilde is a little too > near the i, it looks a little crowded. You are talking about vnr, aren't you? I've CCed this email to Hà n Thế Thà nh; he can answer this best. Werner
