I like your document. However, you say: What does not work: cooledit does not input characters outside ISO-8859-1 range. Well, I use this: /usr/bin/X11/cooledit -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-2" and I see perfectly non ISO-8859-1 characters. I did not try it with UTF-8. Ionel
