quail

Julian Bradfield writes: Not really. From the user point of view, most XEmacs users use platform input methods (eg, compose keys, AltGr, etc) for non-ASCII characters. Asian users typically have many options (eg, for Japanese I use either Canna or Anthy), and Japanese Quail doesn't work at all because it uses features that were introduced into GNU Emacs specifically to support advanced features in Japanese Quail. I only ever use Quail for the occasional accented character in European names, so I don't know much about it. Maybe Aidan knows a lot more, though. Yes, but there's a possible problem: for isearch in 21.4 you need to negotiate with Vin "21.4 Gatekeeper" Shelton. I don't know if he would admit a potentially destabilizing change, isearch is a central feature of Emacsen. For quail and 21.5, you'll need to wait for GPLv3 versions before it can be distributed. Should be real soon now (Jerry, Mike and Mats have done their parts), but you know that maxim about organizations being doomed to produce software whose structure reflects their T/O? Well, Quail is a perfect example, and I think the model was my employer. Life sucks recently.:-) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
