libX11.pdf not building -- soft-hyphens

[Matt Dew]

Thanks Alan. I'd forgotten about that issue.

I tracked down the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.

In libX11/nls/Compose/el_GR.UTF-8.xml, on line 172:
<row><entry><keycombo 
action='seq'><keysym>Multi_key</keysym><keysym>minus</keysym><keysym>minus</keysym></keycombo></entry><entry>"<literal>­ 
</literal>"       hyphen</entry></row>

There's a character that looks like a space between the literal tags. 
It's not actually a space though space and it fails with '--with-fop'.

Files:
libX11/nls/
Compose/iso8859-1.xml
Compose/iso8859-13.xml
Compose/iso8859-14.xml
Compose/iso8859-15.xml
Compose/iso8859-2.xml
Compose/iso8859-3.xml
Compose/iso8859-4.xml
Compose/iso8859-7.xml
Compose/iso8859-9e.xml
Compose/iso8859-9.xml
Compose/vi_VN.viscii.xml

die because fop doesn't like the soft-hyphens. &#173;

I'm guessing that first error is also a soft-hyphen.

It looks like it's a known issue with FOP:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/knownissues.html

Removing the surrounding <literal> tag seems to work ok.  Can we just 
remove that tag?

Your thoughts?
Matt
