It’s a coding system name that that’s mentioned several times in the
XEmacs 21.4 source tree. But wherever it’s mentioned, it’s commented
out. It’s really surprising that you say that XEmacs is
automatically setting this--can you give us details of the file in
question and any pertinent ~/.xemacs/init.el settings?
For example, I can manually do:
M-: (setq buffer-file-coding-system 'iso-latin-1) RET
and the assignment will succeed, and the coding system indicator in my mode
line will disappear, because this coding system doesn’t exist; but whenever
I try to save or even M-x describe-coding-system RET RET, it gives `No such
coding system: iso-latin-1', so it’s pretty evident this setting is wrong.
Or are you inheriting your settings from GNU Emacs?
My .emacs is converted from GNU Emacs, but the only mention of the
string "latin" in it is in the customization setting
'(default-input-method "latin-1-prefix")
However, I am using the desktop package and `desktop-locals-to-save'
contains `buffer-file-coding-system'.
So the buffer coding system is taken from the value Emacs saved for
this file.
This is going to make testing so much more fun.
