Printing is not yet supported.  If there is a Unicode font in the
Type1 format or a big Unicode font in the BDF format, I can add
printing support.  Creating a big BDF font is not difficult, but
requires some patience.  Are there any volunteers?

No idea.  I have never used the recent-files feature.  If it can
record the coding-system together with the filename, it should be
possible.

I often use M-p and M-n at the "Find file:" prompt to follow the
history, but the history is limited within an Emacs session.

If XEmacs supports Unicode, at least the range used for CGreek,
porting should be easy.

# So many IF's here...
