           Summary: Optionally compose Unicode characters when saving MARC
                    record
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: m.de.rooy at rijksmuseum.nl
          Hardware: All
            Status: ASSIGNED
           Version: master
         Component: I18N/L10N
           Product: Koha

Conversion from MARC8 to UTF8 (in e.g. Z3950 search) converts a lot of accented
characters to the Unicode decomposed form of [letter without accent][accent
only] in Unicode.
Most characters originating from the Latin1 character set are not displayed
properly in various browsers (in that decomposed form). When we convert to the
composed form, these characters are mapped to one unicode character with
accent. Presentation improves in various browsers.

This patch adds a syspref making this optional behavior. It makes the needed
changes in ModBiblioMarc.
