Well, it handles isolatin characters correctly (iso8859-1).
I've played with the Euro Symbol (=E2=82=AC) and had no problem either (i=
so8859-15)

Note: Not that pretty in here, maybe it's my system fault, even though I =
have=20
utf-8 suport. I do see the alphas and betas, but have no Idea what that=20
square is - Linux/KDE3.0/Kmail.=20

Well that would be nice.
Meanwhile, one possibility for xemacs users, would be something like the=20
proofgeneral package (http://www.proofgeneral.org) for haskell.
Besides morphing xemacs into a really nice IDE, it renders some keywords=20
to non-ascii symbols (like greek letters) using the xsymbol package. That=
,=20
combined with a slightly modified literate haskell LaTeX style would be=20
really nice.
