Perhaps this was obvious to everyone else, but it occurs to me that once we
have an internal encoding based on the UCS, we can leverage Ben’s work with
the existing Unicode coding systems, which convert between Unicode and the
Mule coding, for redisplay with server-side X11 fonts. Simply convert to the
Mule encoding before using the existing redisplay code, much as the Xft
and Windows code presently converts to Unicode before redisplay.
