Here is the revised draft.

| There are several problems associated with editing non-English @TeX{}
| with GNU Emacs.  @TeX{} are usable for European (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek)
| based languages.

I'm not sure `XEmacs --without-mule' is usable for European
based languages.

| For @acronym{CJK} (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) language,
| @acronym{MULE, MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs} supported Emacsen
| are needed.  @acronym{MULE, MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs} is
| part of GNU Emacs from Emacs 20; XEmacs should be configured with
| @samp{--with-mule} option.  Special versions of @TeX{} are needed for
| @acronym{CJK}; ASCII p@TeX{} and NTT j@TeX{} for Japanese; H@LaTeX{} and
| k@TeX{} for Korean; and @acronym{CJK}-@LaTeX{} package for
| @acronym{CJK}.

How does Chinese use TeX?  Is there TeX specialized for Chinese?

I installed and tried CJK-LaTeX yesterday.  I think that the
week point is lack of information to CJK-LaTeX.  It works with
Japanese, but I couldn't find how to change font family.  I
know this ML is not for TeX and CJK-LaTeX.  The point is ,at
the present point, CJK-LaTeX can not substitute pTeX and jTeX.

AFAIK, There is Unicode based TeX (Omega and Lambda).  But I
don't knwo how to run it on my computer.  Where to find them
and their information.  Is it still continued the development?

Comments are welcome.

best,
