Closing this; 21.4 will never have sufficient Unicode support
to make this worthwhile.

Ah, I forgot to mention in my other mail that you’ll need version 1.26 of
the leim package, available here:

http://ftp.xemacs.org/beta/experimental/packages/leim-1.26-pkg.tar.gz

for latin-ltx.el.

It’s in the packages. The file throws an error if sufficient Unicode support
for it isn’t available. C-u C-\ TeX RET works on 21.5, and provokes an error
on 21.4 and SXEmacs.

(The file has been in the packages CVS for 16 months, but I only updated the
package infrastructure to have it installed three months ago.)

Uwe, the terrible Unicode support of 21.4, even with Mule-UCS, is the reason
for this. If you’re okay with the level of support of Mule-UCS, you can add
the lines:

  (register-input-method
   "TeX" "UTF-8" 'quail-use-package
   "\\" "LaTeX-like input method for many characters."
   "latin-ltx")

to your init file, and comment out the lines at the start of latin-ltx.el
that throw an error if the editor’s Unicode support would trash the file.

Hello

I just learnt about latin-ltx for GNU Emacs and as far as I can see it
is also included in 21.5.x. Could that be used in 21.4.x? If so could
somebody send me the file please.

thanks

Uwe Brauer
