José, I hope you did not do this search because of my complaints. I have nothing against the possibility to output _more_ characters than 1.4 currently can, but what I was upset about was that you all seemed to agree that _less_ characters would be fine. Fortunately this issue seems to be settled now. It is IMHO perfectly reasonable to release 1.5.0 with no user visible unicode improvement over 1.4 (apart from the GUI encoding issues which will be fixed for free with unicode and the euro symbol, see below) and postpone the real LaTeX wise unicode work to a 1.6 release. > Think about euro where there are several packages that allow to export it but > are not present in every latex distribution. Output of the euro symbol would IMHO be nice to have in 1.5, because this is requested a lot. Georg
