I like your document. However, you say:

What does not work:

cooledit does not input characters outside ISO-8859-1 range.


Well, I use this:

/usr/bin/X11/cooledit -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-2"

and I see perfectly non ISO-8859-1 characters.

I did not try it with UTF-8.
