xemacs missing utf-8


Hello!

My problem is, that xemacs doesn't seem to support utf-8 encoding. And this is a little bit of a problem, because system default is UTF-8.

System is ubuntu, following packages for xemacs are installed:
  1. xemacs21
  2. xemacs21-basesupport
  3. xemacs21-bin
  4. xemacs21-mule
  5. xemacs21-mulesupport
  6. xemacs21-support
when I type "M-x prefer-coding-system" there is no choice of utf-8 or UTF-8 or similar. On the same machine I also have gnu-emacs and it supports utf-8, utf-16 etc without any problem.

Does anyone have an idea what I might be missing?

Regards,
Andres

ok, adding

Code:
(require 'un-define)
(set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8))
(set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 'utf-8)
to the init.el file does the job.
