more generally, GNU/Linux support for UTF8 is patchy.
recently, i checked out editors & word-processors
in order to be able to create & use documents containing
Ancient Greek with English and Esperanto with English
& found character input & printing very limited.
Gvim handles input ok & OO can print the result; Yudit is ok, if ugly;
one can get OO to input UTF8, but it needs workarounds; otherwise, v poor.
there are a lot of things which don't get noticed till someone tries them
& even then still don't get attended to when deficiencies are reported.
nonetheless, thanx to all the volunteers who do make things work usually.
