OK, I read the documentation in Info regarding MULE, and how it encodes
things.  Am running 20.0-b31 --with-mule.  It seems to work correctly (at
least as far as displaying something that looks "mostly right" when I
point emacs at mule-doc/demo

1) "mostly right" means modulo some flakiness with fonts I don't
have installed (Tigrigna, Chinese, Cantonese, Hangul, and GB/KSC/BIG5 show
blanks or '~' chars where I'd expect to see something else) - any advice
as to what suggested X fonts I should have available for these would be 
appreciated.  I installed the Chinese, ETL, Japanese, and Korean fonts
from ftp://sh.wide.ad.jp/JAPAN/mule/fonts - what did I miss?

2) It seems to display 8859-1 characters correctly, with one exception
I've seen so far:  I got a random piece of mail from somebody with a
0xD0 character in it (8859-1 has a 'D with a dash' character at that
codepoint), and it was rendered as a '3 diagonal lines' glyph (presumably
some sort of single-byte kana)?  Is there a precidence rule for how to
tell which charset to use? I am *guessing* that it chose a SJIS or EUC
encoded char in preference to 8859-1 - is this settable somehow?

/Valdis (who understands much of emacs, but is idiot-testing the Mule
support ;)
