more generally, GNU/Linux support for UTF8 is patchy. |

recently, i checked out editors & word-processors |
| 7 |
in order to be able to create & use documents containing |
| 8 |
Ancient Greek with English and Esperanto with English |
| 9 |
& found character input & printing very limited. |
| 10 |
Gvim handles input ok & OO can print the result; Yudit is ok, if ugly; |
| 11 |
one can get OO to input UTF8, but it needs workarounds; otherwise, v poor. |

| 13 |
there are a lot of things which don't get noticed till someone tries them |
| 14 |
& even then still don't get attended to when deficiencies are reported. |
| 15 |

| 16 |
nonetheless, thanx to all the volunteers who do make things work usually. |
