Ar an séú lá is fiche de mí Iúil, scríobh Mike FABIAN: Sure. You can structure make-8-bit-coding-system call like so: (make-8-bit-coding-system 'windows-1252 (list (list #x80 (decode-char 'ucs #x20AC)) ;; EURO SIGN (list #x82 (decode-char 'ucs #x201A)) ;; SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK [...] (list #x9F (decode-char 'ucs #x0178)));; LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS "Microsoft's Code Page 1252, for Western Europe and the Americas." '(mnemonic "cp1252" documentation "This is an extension of ISO 8859-1 that provides the Euro sign and several punctuation marks not otherwise available in ISO 8859 1. It is incompatible with ISO 2022, which is not a problem in the regions where it is used. " aliases (cp1252))) and have the octets on disk always represented in the jit-ucs-charset-? XEmacs character set (because the evaluation then takes place at dump time, when the other Mule character sets are not available.) This has the disadvantage that it’s against the spirit of ISO 2022 (when it comes to our auto-save files) and that for the ISO 8859-1 characters, case information is not preserved (to my surprise; that’s something I need to look into.) Right. Because in the terminal it depends on the current Unicode -> Mule mapping, while under X11 it depends on the Unicode -> Mule mapping at the time when XEmacs appeared on the relevant display, which normally is before ~/.xemacs/init.el was evaluated. I had planned to make available an XEmacs with Unicode as an internal encoding (and I have most of the necessary work for that on my disk), but I don’t think that is maintainable in the presence of both the Mule and the non-Mule compilation options (which means, in the presence of Unicode internally, four ./configure options with which everything needs to be tested when anyone makes any change that’s relevant to character encoding). And the elimination of the non-Mule compilation options has been vetoed, so it looks like users are stuck with the internal Mule encoding. -- On the quay of the little Black Sea port, where the rescued pair came once more into contact with civilization, Dobrinton was bitten by a dog which was assumed to be mad, though it may only have been indiscriminating.
