I just some days ago posted a patch to use Unicode on the Windows clipoard (look for the subject "Unicode support for the MS Windows clipboard"). So if you can build your own Emacs you could try that. > Most of the time I need to copy latin-2 characters (Hungarian being > my mothertounge), although every once in a while it would be > advantageous to be able to copy other international characters as > well. On Windows, realistically only using Unicode will help to cut-and-paste text in an encoding that is not the same as the default system 8-bit encoding. The current Emacs can't do that properly regardless how you configure it. benny
