I had been a heavy user of nvi-m17n + canna for long time, but I switched to nvi-iconv + uim-fep few years ago. Actually nvi-m17n was better in some functions (eg. moving forward/backward words on Japanese text), but they are not serious for me. > Note that editors/nvi supports all the encodings that nvi-m17n supports, > but the reverse is not true.

If exists, I'd suggest them to switch nvi-iconv. --yasuoka
