Have you not finished unifying them? Each charset has different reason. IPA: Some characters are not in Unicode. Korean: It contains Chinese characters too. But, by default, it is unified with Unicode. (unify-charset 'korean-ksc5601 nil 'deunify) will cancel the unification. Vietnames: Simply because not yet worked on. Indian: Glyph characters (i.e. what appear only in composition) are not in Unicode: Arabic: Simply because not yet worked on. By the way, as I must prepare my presentation at GNU/Linux conference held in Japan next week, I won't be able to work on Emacs this week. I'll keep on reading mails, but please don't expect a prompt response. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@etl.go.jp
