The question is whether the multi-tty patches can be integrated into the unicode-2 branch with reasonable effort. If it's possible and does not disturb the additions to Unicode Emacs (use of libfontconfig and libXft and use of modern OpenType fonts) then it's probably only a question of time when the multi-tty patches will have infiltrated Unicode Emacs. Who needs the multi-tty feature? And what is it actually good for? -- Greetings Pete One doesn't expect governments to obey the law because of some higher moral development.
