Well it works partially, e.g. only acute accent works.

In the past I used it with latin-2 locale (I need Croatian too) and modifying
texaccent.c by hand , but now on Gentoo I'm on utf-8.
Besides that, latin-2 does not have marron accent and the screen is cluttered
with those Z-like monsters :-)

Yeah, it's possible, but sort of a pain considering that I can enter Sanskrit
characters in all the other apps directly (vim, OO, KWord, Kate...) and take
advantage of 'ucs' package to have some interchange with other users, email it
utf-8...
Unicode is simply becoming a 'must'.
Anyway, I wish you good luck to achieve 1.5 soon and there is always
opportunity to come back :-)
Sincerely,
Gour
