I really > think that it is important that applications use unicode by default, or > at least provide a simple way to do so. emacs21 uses mule-utf-8 by default on UTF-8 locales. However, emacs21 doesn't support CJK characters in Unicode. mule-ucs provides CJK characters in Unicode for emacs21's utf-8, but it causes troublesome, e.g. incompatible with Emacs' encode-char/decode-char, incompatible with Emacs' mule-utf-8, so it is disabled by default. emacs22 will natively support CJK characters in Unicode, but it is not yet released. (emacs-snapshot package is downloadable at http://emacs.orebokech.com/) I expect this bug won't be fixed for etch, because this isn't a critical/serious bug. Summary: To use Unicode on Emacs for etch, * use emacs21 without CJK * use emacs21 with mule-ucs which causes incompatible issue * use emacs-snapshot rebuild from http://emacs.orebokech.com/ Thanks, -- Tatsuya Kinoshita
