I'm interested in your modified keyboard layout, since my problem
with Qt _only_ occurs with a Unicode Vietnamese layout I've modified
myself [1]. My standard Unicode Vietnamese layouts are fine in the
same situation.
If the display is OK using the same font, the font shouldn't be the
issue. But if your problem is similar to my issue, the modifications
to the keyboard layout look like being a factor.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about input systems to work out
why. When you modified your layout, did that change the way it
identified itself to the input application?
Many applications still don't have Unicode as their default encoding.
That can result in some inputs being defaulted back to Latin-1 (or
MacRoman, on Macs), which, if they're Unicode layouts, can mess up
the input.
(Some input situations in X11 on OSX, for example, look like the
underlying system is on LSD.)
Perhaps the aspell developer(s) can comment on how a modified layout
would interact with their software. I certainly haven't had any
trouble with my modified layout inputting into CocoAspell, but that's
an OSX frontend for aspell, so I'm not dealing directly with the
aspell software.
I'm always interested in input problems, though: Unicode support is
improving, but we still have holes in the infrastructure.
