Agreed, but if in the end there's no dead keys support, there still is a problem somewhere, no matter which component's fault it is in the chain... Note that I only tried a few times acme on Plan 9, so I don't even know if that "missing dead keys" claim is true, or if that is simply a matter of configuration. Or maybe Thomas was talking about acme from the plan9port? Cheers, Mathieu. -- GPG key on subkeys.pgp.net: KeyID: | Fingerprint: 683DE5F3 | 4324 5818 39AA 9545 95C6 09AF B0A4 DFEA 683D E5F3 --
