Re: Searching in jed-B0.99-17.165 (UTF-8)

[Jens Wilhelm Wulf <jens_w2@xxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

here's a more detailed answer: 

 1. My system is:
  Debian Sarge x86
  linux 2.6.11
  SLang 2.0.6 compiled from source
  jed-B0.99-17.165
  XOrg 6.8.2 compiled from source
  
  jens@knusper:~$ echo $LANG
  de_DE.UTF-8@euro

 2. Yes, %v in the status line shows a trailing 'U'.
 
 3. slang-2.0.6/utf8/testfiles/UTF-8-demo.txt
    Most things are displayed correctly, some just show a box. I guess this
    is just a font problem, as box test, greetings, russian, greek, parts of
    math and the 'nicer typography box' display ok.
    Using a bigger font for the xterm, everything except the last greeting
    is displayed correctly.

 7. I tried to search again, result seems different now:
    I opened slang-2.0.6/utf8/testfiles/UTF-8-demo.txt. 
    Entered some umlauts into it, moved above them. Searched for a 
    "u (u umlaut). Display in minibuffer is:
    
    A~ 1/4 not found.
    +- -+-   
    |    |
    |    +- displayed as one character
    +------ displayed as one character (capital A with ~ above)



I really hope that this and the xjed input problem can be solved. Without
xjed, UTF-8 is unusable for me.
 
Best regards,
Jens
