That's such a vague question that it's hard to answer -- certainly I've never had any particular problems with the above (though the only time I've ever seen _all_ of them in a single file, is in the `HELLO' file that comes with emacs). But for my standard daily usage, everything seems to work fine, with no font tweaking or whatever. Sometimes I get spam email that emacs fails to decode correctly, though.

Your original message alluded to problems recognizing certain encodings; that should be easy to report as a bug -- send a document which emacs fails to recognize, which it probably should. -Miles -- `...the Soviet Union was sliding in to an economic collapse so comprehensive that in the end its factories produced not goods but bads: finished products less valuable than the raw materials they were made from.'
