Yes, the main purpose of HELLO is to check multi-script capability, and it would be simpler if HELLO displayed just a few symbols from every script. But since HELLO contains greetings in various languages now, we risk offending some users by not including their languages in this list. > Difficulty comes from verifying if languages collected from the Internet > is really correct, or did I properly copy them to the text file. This is not a problem since we can easily fix errors when users notice and report them. BTW, I think we should convert HELLO to UTF-8. Do you see any symbol in HELLO not supported by UTF-8? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
