At the moment, making a new input method for German Latin-9 seems best. I just switched Emacs to a Latin-9 locale but still use german-prefix. This means that I can use the normal X11 method of entering =E4 ( <">) which produces a Latin-9 character, whereas the german-prefix way (<"> ) produces a Latin-1 character, and `C-s =E4' does not find both. Yes, unify-8859-on-decoding-mode would work around this problem. But I think we want something which works well even for users who have that turned off. (Turning unify-8859-on-decoding-mode on has the unfortunate side-effect of changing the encoding of the Emacs ChangeLog files. So I guess that Emacs developers, at least, will want to leave unify-8859-on-decoding-mode off.) If you want to make it happen faster, help Handa-san with his Unicode work. Wishing is permissible, of course, but not very practical :-) kai --=20 Silence is foo!
