Are you talking about the choice of ö versus 'oe' as a workaround or something else? Because what you said was that I was calling UTF-8 support a triviality, which I didn't. And you've ignored my attempt to clarify that instead following up with a playground retort And this goes on and on on this list. It generates endless circular discussions which degenerate into name calling and does nothing more useful than waste people's time and entrench their positions. For what it's worth, I spent a while years ago helping out with issues of UTF-8 support in Vorbis. I filled the odd bug for UTF-8 emacs support in Fedora. It is something I do care about. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
