Perhaps this was obvious to everyone else, but it occurs to me that once =

the
Mule encoding before using the existing redisplay code, much as the Xft
and Windows code presently converts to Unicode before redisplay.=20

is being
held hostage in Rob Malda=E2=80=99s basement. But who fact-checks me, or =
Enderle,
when we say something in public? No-one!=E2=80=9D -- Danny O=E2=80=99Brie=
