Yes, Emacs can do this since v20.5 (actually, 20.1, but there were bugs in early 20.x versions). > If so, any tips? Just do it. You will need corresponding fonts to display the characters, of course. And, if your system doesn't support input in those languages, you will have to make sure you have Leim (library of Emacs input methods) installed and use Emacs input methods for typing foreign characters. > I've heard of an editor called "sam", developed by Rob Pike, that can do > this.

It's strange you never heard of it, since the capability exists for quite a few years. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
