[followup] help with utf-8 and 21-5b6
Investigating a little further I think I know what's happened: when I
open the file as UTF-8 again, XEmacs displays the Japanese characters
as Chinese ones which look the same - except that they are slightly
bigger in my setup - but have a different representation internally
(at least that is what I think; I don't know anything about the
internals of coding-systems and redisplay). That would explain, why
I'm not able to search for Chinese characters in a Japanese dictionary
(my HELLO-file looks exactly the same and suffers the same problems).
Ben? Can you please have one more look at this?
I'm really dependent on being able to search for words I don't know
(or have forgotten :-( ).
Bye, Adam.
