21.5 is still a beta release. I assumed the debugging info was useful
to the development community. I don't have a strong feeling one way
or the other; subscribers to xemacs-beta let me know how you think the
21.5 setup kits should be built.

I’ve renamed my ~/.vm file to ~/.vm-. I start XEmacs:
$ xemacs-21.5-b27 -vanilla &
In *scratch*, I type:
(latin-unity-install) C-j
=> (latin-unity-sanity-check)
(setq font-running-xemacs t) ;; to work around an issue W3 is seeing
=> t
I type M-x vm-visit-folder RET /tmp/aidan/spam RET
I make a change, press S , and I get the coding system conflict message. It
says, again, that:
“All preapproved coding systems (buffer-default==binary
preferred==utf-16-little-endian-bom) fail to appropriately encode some
of the characters present in the buffer.”
This time it lists:
iso-8859-1 iso-8859-2 iso-8859-3 iso-8859-4 iso-8859-9 iso-8859-15 utf-8
iso-2022-7 ctext escape-quoted
as recommended because they can encode any character in the buffer.
The folder in question is available at http://www.parhasard.net/spam.bz2 .

No. The Cygwin version knows that it's on a Windows system and wants
to use the Windows facilities. Is that known to be incorrect? X
users normally use lpr? Or what do they do on Cygwin? I suppose lpr
has the best chance of working out of the box.
If you want Unix-style facilities, edit the page-setup button out of
the toolbar (there is no X equivalent, unless you want to bind it to
`(lambda () (customize-group 'lpr))').
For the print button, use C-h k <click on print button> to find out
what's bound to it. If it's not `toolbar-print', try binding
`toolbar-print' to that button. (M-x edit-toolbar is a convenient way
to do that.) If it is already `toolbar-print', what is the value of
the variable `toolbar-print-function'? Does setting that to
'lpr-buffer help?

[Bug: 21.5-b27] Suboptimal interaction of latin-unity and VM.
18 years
Aidan Kehoe
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
The docstring for latin-unity-sanity-check says:
“This function does _not_ do the safe thing when
`buffer-file-coding-system' is nil (= no-conversion). It considers that
"non-Latin", and passes it on to the Mule detection mechanism. This
could result in corruption. So avoid setting `buffer-file-coding-system'
to nil or 'no-conversion or 'binary.”
However, when dealing with Unix mail spools, as VM does, it’s the correct
and reasonable thing to do to set buffer-file-coding-system to 'binary,
since MIME means that identical octets can mean different things in
different messages in the same file.
I just did a (latin-unity-install) in this XEmacs, without setting the
latin-unity-preapproved-coding-system-list. Now, when I visit a VM folder,
make a change, and try to save it, I get this:
Choose a coding system to save buffer inbox.
All preapproved coding systems (buffer-default==binary
preferred==utf-16-little-endian-bom)
fail to appropriately encode some of the characters present in the
buffer. Character sets in the buffer are:
control-1 latin-iso8859-1 ascii
Please pick a coding system. The following are recommended because they
can encode any character in the buffer:
iso-8859-1 utf-8 iso-2022-7 ctext escape-quoted
Note that if you select a coding system that can not encode some
characters in your buffer, those characters will be changed to an
arbitrary replacement character, by default `~', on output.
[...]
(Even when the folder is empty!) I don’t know where it’s getting
utf-16-little-endian-bom. 'binary is going to remain equivalent to
'iso-8859-1 for us; it is very unclear to me why latin-unity-sanity-check
passes the text on to the Mule detection mechanism when writing, instead of
accepting it as a reasonable way of encoding control-1, latin-iso8859-1 and
ascii.
Bye,
Aidan

The problem with using UTF-8 is that you still have to transcode to
the system codepage when using any 8-bit interfaces (e.g. passing data
to subprocesses). Although there is a UTF-8 codepage (CP-65001), I've
never encountered anyone using it as their system codepage.

I am not sure. It is round-trip, but of course it leaves bad bytes in
the buffer. And some of them might combine badly with others.

Yes, could be worth working over. I suppose that "Emacs 23" will only
start getting a really solid beating once it is moved to HEAD.

If the file is in iso-8859-N, but the locale and/or the process
encoding (which might come from a master file in utf-8 that includes a
subfile in iso-*)...
The possibilities for complications are pretty much endless. Polish
people, for example, tend to use Latin-2 encodings in their files, but
Latin-1 locales. They just "know" which characters will be displayed
wrong and how, and in a Polish locale, more things go wrong than in an
English one.
You don't really want to know the number of idiocies I have to cater
for in connection with AUCTeX/TeX/LaTeX.

Of course! :-) .
You’re right, it makes more sense for the X11 version to use LPR. And when
that day comes that someone makes it possible to have X11 and Win32 frames
simultaneously in a single XEmacs, it should choose based on the selected
frame.

I have a tentative plan to add a charset to XEmacs, 256 characters of which
reflect corrupt Unicode data. These 256 characters will be generated by
Unicode-oriented coding systems when they encounter invalid data:
(decode-coding-string "\x80\x80" 'utf-8)
=> "\200\200" ;; With funky redisplay properties once display tables and
;; char tables are integrated. Which, whee, is more work.
And will be ignored by them when writing:
(encode-coding-string (decode-coding-string "\x80\x80" 'utf-8) 'utf-8)
=> ""
This will allow applications like David Kastrup’s reconstruct-utf-8
sequences-from-fragmentary-TeX-error-messages to be possible, while not
contradicting the relevant Unicode standards. With Unicode as the internal
encoding, there’s no need to have a separate Mule character set; we can
stick their codes somewhere above the astral planes. But we should maintain
the same syntax code for them. Note also that, as far as I can work out,
these 256 codes will be sufficient for representing error data for all the
other Unicode-oriented representations well as UTF-8.

[buglet] xemacs -nw & smilies in gnus
18 years
Giacomo Boffi
i rebuilt xemacs beta
(insert (emacs-version)) XEmacs 21.5 (beta27) "fiddleheads"
(+CVS-20061107) [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Wed Nov 8 2006 on
boffi95
and now gnus "hilights" smilies in article buffers even when xemacs
runs in a terminal (emulator), more precisely gnus inserts in the
buffer the full pathname of the xpm file, that it is considered a
single gliph (i.e., i can place the cursor before or after the full
pathname, but not into it)
note that (a) gnus displays correctly smilies under X, (b) until a
couple of weeks ago gnus *did* something to the smilies, but them were
rendered with ascii characters
(insert (gnus-version)) Gnus v5.10.7
grazie, ciao
