xfig 3.2.2 Text entry allowed Alt-XX to get special latin-1
characters.  It has nothing to do with xmodmap (which incidently
has the most obfuscating man page ever).

See: http://www.xfig.org/userman/drawing.html#compose-char

Having not received an answer from tlug, I wrote to Brian
Smith (xfig creator) and got the answer I wanted.

Thanks anyway.
