hello, my favourite editor is gnu emacs. i use it for html, java programming, latex and much more. so far i have been using emacs 20 on GNU/Linux with Otfried Cheongs utf-8 mode and Markus Kuhns UCS-fonts to work with utf8 files on the X11 version of gnu emacs.
i must say: I am not really satisfied with that. There is vim 6.x now with full utf-8 support on the xterm. It is much faster than emacs on x11 of course. But I don't like it yet because it's so different from good old Emacs ... :-( I was happy to see Emacs 21 announced. but the unicode support does not seem to have moved forward very much - as i have heard and read from some people. my question: what happened in this area in Emacs 21 ?? Is the internal representation still the special MULE format ??~ And are there any plans and/or activities to achieve these things ? since i am not an elisp hacker i am only asking at the moment. any comments appreciated oliver -- http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~oldo/ - Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
