They're "french" and "italian" input methods; I don't see any inherent connection with latin1 (at least the quail input-method definition doesn't make any mention of coding systems). [Indeed, if the patch submitter is the same guy I talked with on IRC, he explicitly didn't want to use the generic latin-foo input methods because they define too many useless bindings, he just wanted french chars, plus euro.] -Miles -- Youth, n.
