Here are some comments that may help to fix this bug.
In this comment I am going to describe some issues on my Ubuntu 9.10 (GNOME)

1) Depending on the font size, vowels with tildes sometimes incorrectly appear on the screen as vowels with macrons. When increasing the font size with Ctrl-mousewheel, the apparent macron changes back and forth to tilde.
The fonts I have tried:
 - Nimbus Roman No9 L (in OpenOffice.org Writer)
 - Nimbus Sans L (in OpenOffice.org Writer)
 - Default web page fonts (in Firefox)
 - The Terminal


2a) Here is what I get when I am logged in as a user whose account was created during system installation:
<Compose> <minus> <vowel>: āēōūī ĀĒŌŪĪ
<Compose> <vowel> <minus>: āēōūī ĀĒŌūĪ
<Compose> <underscore> <vowel>: āēōūī ªĒºŪĪ
<Compose> <vowel> <underscore>: ªēºūī ªĒºūĪ
<Compose> <tilde> <vowel>: ãẽõũĩ ÃẼÕŨĨ


2b) Finally, this is what I get when I am logged in as a user whose account was added from "System">"Administration">"Users and Groups":
<Compose> <minus> <vowel>: ãēõūī ÃĒÕŪĪ
<Compose> <vowel> <minus>: ãēõūī ÃĒÕŪĪ
<Compose> <underscore> <vowel>: ªēºūī ªĒºŪĪ
<Compose> <vowel> <underscore>: ªēºūī ªĒºŪĪ
<Compose> <tilde> <vowel>: ãẽõũĩ ÃẼÕŨĨ
<Compose> <vowel> <tilde>: ãẽõũĩ ÃÕŨĨ
(<Compose>+"e"+<tilde> results in no symbol, just a sound)

What I find the most important, is that the key combination <Compose>
<minus> <vowel> or <Compose> <vowel> <minus> should result in "a", "A",
"o" and "O" with macrons, not tildes. This is a problem for which I do
not see any good workaround.


I do not know why there are differences between 2a) and 2b)
In the instance of 2a, I used to install the Latvian(Latvia) keyboard layout, but I later removed it because it has a bug that has not been fixed yet. In the instance of 2b, I did not install the Latvian layout in the first place.
I use USA and Russian layouts.

P.S. My compose key is <Right Win>.
