 Replying to [comment:4 squab]:
 > No, you're not the only one. I'd love this to be fixed as well, but
 given how low-level it appears, I don't know if it'll be fixed soon.

 > Here's a kludgy workaround I'm trying out: use the Text Replacement
 plugin and define replacements for things like ć -> ç. Make sure you
 uncheck "Only replace whole words"; you'll need to define replacements for
 lowercase and uppercase versions of the characters you want to replace.

 Just to follow up on my previous message: this workaround doesn't work
 well enough to rely on. The problem is that not all letters seem to
 generate a character to auto-replace. For instance, "'l" generates a "ĺ"
 which can then be auto-replaced with "'l". However, other letters such as
 "'d'" don't generate any character and thus can't be replaced.

 Sadly, until this is fixed I'm going to have to look for an alternative to
 Pidgin.
