First off, let me say that I am _more_ than thrilled that jed is adopt- ing serious UTF-8 support; as a person who uses three character sets which generally cannot exist in any other way (Latin, Cyrillic, and Japanese), I look forward to putting the days of changing terminals to change character sets beind me. ;-) That said, I'm having a little trouble. I have no problem _viewing_ UTF-8 in jed -- UTF-8-demo.txt is beautiful. I particularly like the equations. ;-) However, I cannot successfully _input_ UTF-8. If I run jed in a utf-8 capable terminal, with a utf-8 locale (I have tried set- ting any and all of LC_CTYPE, LANG, and LC_ALL to both en_US.utf8 and ja_JP.utf8), when I enter non-latin text it is displayed in jed as the constituent Unicode characters expressed in ISO-Latin-1 -- I realize this is somewhat hard to picture, so I've attached a screenshot demon- strating the problem. (Note that some of the contituent unicode charac- ters are interpreted as control characters, and thus don't show up "cor- rectly" even in this fashion) This jed is linked against slang-pre2-r2, and it is jed-0.99.17.56. It is running correctly in Unicode mode (as can be seen in the screenshot), at least as best I can tell. The attached screen shot contains the two lines "Eto russkiy yazik" in Cyrillic and "nihongo desu" in Japanese (kanji and kana), correctly dis- played as entered in vim; following that is a blank line and the result of typing 'russkiy' (the same as in the first line) in jed. The latter part of the word is what the UTF-8 word 'russkiy' looks like when dumped to an ISO-8859-1 terminal. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
