Sorry, I don't know. If you don't know either, it probably means there's a missing feature, in which case we should implement something to make it possible. > |> Apart of changing some people's names > > The names don't change, since the characters are the same, just encoded > differently. Well, that's just the crux of the difference between using unification and not using it, isn't it? If Latin-n characters aren't unified, they do look different, which could be quite annoying, depending on how your fonts are set up. It gets even worse if you don't notice the difference and copy parts of text into another buffer, which can cause Emacs to ask for a suitable encoding, with choices that many people won't like... _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
