[Bug: 21.5-b18] certain Text Files appear garbled

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! When opening a text file containing the words "méi wéi Europäësch Compétitivitéit" (Luxembourgish for "more than European Competitivity"), the text appears garbled in some strange Chinese character set (Zh/Big5). When opening the same text in vi, it appears normal. As I'm typing this in emacs, I'm not sure how this will arrive at the other end... I admit that the Chinese might overtake Europe one day, but IMHO emacs is way ahead of its time here ;-) Is there a possibility to de-activate these political forecasts? ;-) Thanks, Alain ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux mozart 2.6.9 #1 SMP Wed Dec 1 14:42:08 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ./configure 'i386-suse-linux' '--with-gcc' '--dynamic' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--cflags=-O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -g -Wall -Wno-switch -pipe -O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -g -fno-strict-aliasing' '--ldflags=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/X11R6/bin' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--archlibdir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.5.18/i386-suse-linux' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.5.18/i386-suse-linux' '--lispdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.5.18/lisp' '--etcdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.5.18/etc' '--statedir=/var/lib/xemacs' '--moduledir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.5.18/i386-suse-linux/modules' '--infodir=/usr/share/xemacs/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man/man1' '--with-database=gnudbm,berkdb' '--with-ncurses' '--with-tty=yes' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-sound=native' '--with-gpm' '--pdump' '--with-xpm' '--with-gif' '--with-tiff' '--with-jpeg' '--with-png' '--with-x' '--with-athena=3d' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with! -dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' '--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include' '--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib' '--with-mule' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--with-clash-detection' '--with-ldap' '--with-pop' XEmacs 21.5-b18 "chestnut" (+CVS-20041021) configured for `i386-suse-linux'.
