I don't see so many changes from stable GNU Emacs 21.4 to GNU Emacs 22 
from CVS. The latter still can't handle completely the case of dealing 
with more than one ISO or Unicode encoding. And printing is still bad 
too! This message comes from trying to print a buffer in ISO 
8859-15/ISO Latin-9:

        These characters in the buffer can't be printed:
         €,  , ¡, ¢, £, €, ¥, Š, §, š, ©, ª, «, ¬, ­, and more...
        Click them to jump to the buffer position,
        or C-u C-x = will give information about them.

And it's not even true, since I can see ¡, ¢, £, §, ©, ª, «, ¬, ­ ...

Is it really that complicated to determine the system's TrueType fonts 
and use the Unicode encoded ones to print in whatever ISO, Greek, or 
Cyrillic encoding? Or in Arabic or Hebrew?

I'd look forward to Unicode Emacs 23.

When in doubt, use brute force.
