I confess that I'm not sure. Latin-9 adds some letters which look as if they might be intended for an Eastern European language, but I'm not sure. > Meanwhile, most of the input methods (the ones for specific languages, > suchas german-prefix) use only characters that are the same in Latin-1 > and Latin-9.

So they are indeed very similar. Let me try to cons up something. > Meanwhile, we should have separate input methods latin-1-postfix and > latin-9-postfix. These are already there, which is good. kai -- Silence is foo!
