On Mac OS X 10.3.9 it works extremly well: I can see =80 and many other=20= glyphs from ISO 8859-15 or ISO 8859-16 encoded texts. In Carbon Emacs=20 it's almost impossible to view a text correctly when it's not held in=20 some proprietary Mac encoding. htmlize-view.el and htmlize.el change=20 all the empty rectangles into visible glyphs. Colours and features like=20= bold or italic shape are preserved. As a final test I opened in Carbon Emacs the file utf8.txt from the=20 Kermit distribution. It has coded the first 64K Unicode glyphs. Since I=20= have fonts for almost each code point I could see all these glyphs in=20 my browser. And it's very easy and free of problems (until now, but=20 this, of course, can change) to print them into a PDF file. I think htmlize-view.el and htmlize.el have the potential to become the=20= default print method for Carbon Emacs. And it should be possible to=20 write a little (Objective) C programme to convert HTML to PDF without=20 an Internet browser, since Apple provides powerful APIs. -- Mit friedvollen Gr=FC=DFen Pete <] o __o |__ o HPV, the real ___o /I -\<, |o \ -\),-% high speed! ___/\ /\___./ \___...O/ O____.....`-O-'-()--o_________________
