Problem

Symptoms: When using Alt-152 on the numeric keyboard to get 'y', the y comes up on the screen fine but prints as a 'ij' combination. In reveal codes with the cursor on the y, it expands to [y:1,139] which is the 'ij' combination. Solutions: Our program made a choice on certain ALT keys and what characters they would be composed to. The census told us that the ij was used more than the yen, so we chose to use the ALT-152 for that character because it resembles the ij. We did the same with the german double s and the beta. In order to get the yen you will need to use compose. If you still do not like our decision, it can always be put in as an enhancement request.
