All right, I put that on my ToDo list.

Well, we also have a patch fixing that slowness, so it doesn't seem to
be an inherent problem, just some implementation artifact.

What exactly does this mean? I sure would expect all these editors to
correctly display text that mixes Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese
characters. I believe they can handle this, but have to admit I did not
try that (mostly for lack of a personal use-case). Is there an example
that can be used to test this?
Kind regards,
Ralf
