I use amaya to draft web pages, with the upcoming utf8 support in xhtmlin amaya, I wanted to be sure to be able to edit utf8 document in a text editor, like vim or emacs. > I use Debian 2.2, but with UTF-8 xterms, Mutt with UTF-8 as its > charset, and Emacs configured to work in UTF-8. That's almost I want to do, just replace mutt by vim :-). And all this under x11. > The main thing I don't have for all-round Unicode support is the > latest X.

Ok, so apparently, there's not much to do except getting the utf8 enabled programs.
