I checked out a pretest version of GNU Emacs 21. In addition to the
no-CJK limitation, combining characters also didn't work (using
Markus' 9x18 ISO-10646-1 font), nor could Devanagari or Tibetan be
saved as UTF-8. Mule-UCS, I believe, is beginning to add support for
Indian scripts, but I don't expect to see it in Emacs 21 itself.
