At the moment, I don't know of a language that has a UTF-8 affix file, though I imagine that problem will be corrected in the near future. In particular, if emacs stores stuff internally using a constant-width encoding, for most languages you could convert that to latin-1, feed that to ispell, and then generate line offsets with a simple multiply. -- Geoff Kuenning geoff@cs.hmc.edu http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~geoff/ McDonald's, which does not wait on your table, does not cook your food to order, and does not clear your table, came up with the slogan ``We Do It All For You.'' -- Dave Barry
