Just FYI, I can see both Ethiopic and Georgian in mutt, on default uxterm
(not-so-fresh unstable), when I select large font from menu (in default
configuration). Using the default font,I see only Georgian, not Ethiopic.
I would say it is decent (compared to situation, say, two years ago)

It is not matter of supporting _all_ users with _all_ characters, but
of supporting _as many as reasonably possible_. E.g., my needs
for filenames are satisfied with characters from latin1, latin2, latin3,
and cyrillic (yes, I really have such filenames, and really use the
files, and would not like to transliterate all into ASCII). Current
support of UTF-8 in woody quite satisfies me
(after some tweaking, of course, since often the default settings
are not UTF-8 friendly)
