All the rest > should "just work". I've done as you suggested and am getting what seem to be evidence of communication, Emacs to m17n, for Tai Tham text. Everything was broken at the first attempt - infinite loop in Emacs, and I think m17n is giving up on my instructions. I'll just have to approach the full design bit by bit. I aped burmese.el for tai-tham.el. Having been forced to recompile emacs for myself, it will be less awkward to put monitoring in. I nearly missed the need to obtain the m17n and libotf developer packages - it was only the display of configuration options selected by configure that alerted me. Richard.
