Hello,
There's a bug released for a long time. XEmacs 21.4.9 returns t,
but XEmacs 21.5-b9 returns nil for the following expression.
(let ((str (char-to-string (make-char 'japanese-jisx0208 36 34))))
(string-equal (decode-coding-string
(encode-coding-string str 'euc-japan)
'undecided)
str))
In other words, XEmacs 21.5-b9 doesn't do the automatic decoding
for Japanese text. It doesn't work not only for euc-japan but
also for shift_jis etc. Probably it relates to this, find-file
treats Japanese text as raw-text. Though I don't have an
ability to fix it, I am anxious for this problem being solved in
the future.
Regards,
