No. It's possible to have both and to update both from CVS.

You meant multi-tty-unicode together? Which branch is that?

It does not yet exist.


The branches really become a mess..


Indeed! It seems not to be documented what this multi-tty feature is and what it might be good for. The question is whether the multi-tty patches can be integrated into the unicode-2 branch with reasonable effort. If it's possible and does not disturb the additions to Unicode Emacs (use of libfontconfig and libXft and use of modern OpenType fonts) then it's probably only a question of time when the multi-tty patches will have infiltrated Unicode Emacs.


Who needs the multi-tty feature? And what is it actually good for?
