I don't think anybody uses it, but it was a fun hack.

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to Oort Gnus v0.04.

Emacs 21 (was: earcon.el?)

I don't want to start jabbering on about Emacs 21 here (I can do that

Janík's name doesn't display correctly for me in Emacs 21, which it
looks OK in XEmacs and Emacs 20.  Is this a Gnus problem or a font
problem, or what?  I just see a square box where the "í" should be.

I see acente a' gur {yike}  the forward leaning one similar to "/" only
small, above the i.

Looks a lot like a font problem.  But why can Emacs 20 find the font,
whereas Emacs 21 cannot?  Strange.

Fwiw, I use the GNU intlfonts and see the Latin-2 character just fine.

Installed here.  It's not referenced anywhere, including the docs.

I've been having weird font problems occasionally with Emacs 21.  On
my desktop system, every single character is a box, unless I switch
the font from the default.  But I have the same software (Debian sid)
installed on my laptop, and it generally works OK there.  I reported
this as a bug a while ago, and Dave Love said he'd seen the same
behavior, and also had reported it as a bug.  I haven't heard anything
since then...

emacs-pretest-bug is the place to report problems.

You need to consult *Messages* for anything relevant and supply
information about the fontset you're using.  I have no such trouble.

I think there was an undocumented change in the use of scaleable fonts
which screwed some things.
