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.
