Actually, no. I'm more concerned with all the config files I'll need to tweak to make it work. mutt, slrn, Xresources, fonts, ... It's a *lot* simpler, for a unilingual anglo, to just say no. iso-8859-15 does a decent job here. I see umlauts, et al. More exotic stuff (Israeli, Hindu, ...) no. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
