Using GNU emacs 23 and Xemacs 21.4.21 Mule Anyhow this problem seems to me minor, I much more concerned about the babel problem, that is: somehow, in modes other than fundamental the coding gets screwed up. > So maybe it's done with updating? > If not, what Steve explained indicates some limitation. > Sure there are several ways out.

Well another problem with 21.5 is it is not part of any Debian (Ubuntu) based distribution as far as I know.

Concerning latin-unity, one problem was the saving to utf8. Again having put that coding string at the beginning of the buffer solved the writing/reading problem.
