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.

[Bug: 21.4.19] dead keys on Windows
17 years, 5 months
Cezary Sliwa
--text follows this line--
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
When I press "~" (it is a dead key in the Polish keyboard
layout), strange things happen. For example pressing the
sequence "~" [space] "a" produces a space and the "±" character
(Xemacs notices "~" has been pressed and remembers to put an
accent despite the intervening space). Pressing "~" twice
produces "~~", so how can I obtain just one "~"? (it should
be possible with the "~" [space] sequence, but it produces
a space.

Does the file
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/xemacs-21.5.28/lisp/mule/mule-coding.el
contain that function? It does for me when I check out the tree. But then I
have occasionally had weirdnesses with that CVS server too.

Ok. As I understand it, we need to state explicitly in the file that we’ve
modified it, if we’re to distribute it.

XEmacs doesn't support windows-1252
17 years, 5 months
Mike FABIAN
In unicode.el, the tables for some charsets commonly used
under Microsoft Windows are commented out:
(defun load-unicode-tables ()
"Initialize the Unicode translation tables for all standard charsets."
[...]
;; "CP1250.TXT"
;; "CP1251.TXT"
;; "CP1252.TXT"
;; "CP1253.TXT"
;; "CP1254.TXT"
;; "CP1255.TXT"
;; "CP1256.TXT"
;; "CP1257.TXT"
;; "CP1258.TXT"
;; "CP874.TXT"
;; "CP932.TXT"
;; "CP936.TXT"
;; "CP949.TXT"
;; "CP950.TXT"
Why?
Sometimes I get mail which uses some of these windows charsets
even from Linux users. For example from some Mutt users:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.16 (2007-06-09)
Usually these mails contain some characters which are only in
windows-1252 and not in iso-8859-1. For example such characters:
“ U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
” U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
– U+2013 EN DASH
And my Gnus running under XEmacs cannot display such mails correctly
because of the lack of support for the windows-1252 charset.
Can this be fixed easily or would it cause problems to load
these translation tables as well in unicode.el?

[...]
* mule-ccl.c (ccl_driver):
Add Dave Love's hash table lookup CCL code, which has been in GNU
for years.
Move mule-to-unicode to accept its argument in the same format as
write-multibyte-character.
Move to accepting characters as well as integers in lots of
places; with XEmacs (and even with GNU Emacs), where the
character-integer map is not constant from one invocation to the
next, it makes sense for CCL programs with character literals to
accept those literals as characters, not integers.
If we're a debug build, allow access to ccl-program-table from
Lisp, which can make debugging things easier.
Take out font-ccl-encoder-alist, since it was never implemented,
and was not ever a stellar idea.
Provide translation-hash-table-vector, as in GNU.

Talk to RMS about that. ;-)
One problem we have here is that compile.el is a high-level
application that we want to maintain GNU compatibility. I see your
problem, but varying here would open us up to various subtle bugs.

In theory, the variable could contain other "forms", such as -f or

usage (or if we can't think of a better name), I'm fine with it.

It's the list where you are most likely to find developers, but it's
not "the developers' list." (Not speaking for my colleagues:) I don't
make a sharp distinction between user and developer. These are roles
that the same person plays in varying degrees according to context and
phase of the moon.
The reason it's called "xemacs-beta" is that beta testers are supposed
to hang out here. As active contributors they are more likely to
respond, and should given extra weight. They are also likely to have
better-informed opinions.
