Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-16
Severity: minor
Hi,
When pasting ligatures, they are developped, which is fine for non-UTF-8
environment. But when a UTF-8 transfer is possible, maybe they should rather
be transmitted as such? For instance,

IIRC, the X protocol has a negociation facility when transfering the
selection.

Because I ran reportbug in a latin X-term. But when working with gvim,
emacs,... it would be fine.

Ok, closing bug.
