I use either latin-4-postfix or a lisp routine to input the Latin Extended-A characters. During an editing session I can search (and replace) only those extended characters that I have input during that session. Characters input in former sessions (before a file save and close buffer) are not seen by any of the flavors of the search command. An inspection of the characters with C-x = shows that what look like the same characters have, in fact, different code points. rfc1345 is not listed among my input methods but I suspect that I am going to need something other than latin-4-postfix to search for these characters. I have tried different combinations of unify-on-decode (and encode) but that hasn't shed any light on my problem. The files seem to be normal utf-8 files that can be imported into other applications (Win98) and I can operate on them in emacs (NT build) in every other way I am familiar with so far, it's just that no searching is possible. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ed.
