Re: bug report: UTF-8 encoding support

And I _knew_ there was an interactive interface, I just forgot what it was! M-x prefer-coding-system should do what you need, sorry for taking so long to come to my senses. If it does work, then (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) in your init file should make life good. Here's the docstring: Add CODING-SYSTEM at the front of the priority list for automatic detection. This also sets the coding system of newly created buffers (the default value of `buffer-file-coding-system') and the default coding system for output to a subprocess (the CDR of `default-process-coding-system'). If CODING-SYSTEM specifies a certain type of EOL conversion, the coding systems set by this function will use that type of EOL conversion. This does not change [various subtle things that shouldn't be changed, if you run into trouble with *file names* or *subprocesses* look at the full docstring or ask on xemacs-beta]. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
