Re: set-buffer-file-coding-system doesn't

I'm seeing problems with this recently in 21.4, too, though. I thought it was latin-unity related. Ie, if I turn off latin-unity it works fine, and latin-unity is the only thing that should be different in XEmacs 21.4 from a few months ago. Are you currently normally using latin-unity in XEmacs? Or did you just try it again because of this problem? Are you using Mule-UCS by any chance? If so, in XEmacs, GNU Emacs, or both? -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
