<rant> Emacs MULE sucks. It makes me really angry how old-fashioned and complicated this works. WTF do we need proportional fonts (as in Emacs-21) if the Unicode support is still so poor. </rant> Sorry for being rude, but this really makes me mad although I usually am a GNU, FSF and RMS enthusiast. When will it be fixed? VIM6 is supposedly much better now, since it uses the UCS-fonts in an xterm and is fully UTF8-enabled (as Markus Kuhn reported several times on this list). But of course it's not the most attractive sort of sport to learn all the key bindings and other bits and pieces of vi(m) if you used to be happy just with emacs/jed/uemacs. I don't know yet what I will do and what I (as an i18n "consultant") will recommend to my friends and customers. Any ideas, comments or prospects on how Emacs+Unicode will evolve?? I should probably join an Emacs-related mailing list and complain/discuss there. just my 200 euros. ;-) oliver - Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
