It does not help
But I bet it does make the global value non-nil in buffers where you
don't use x-symbol at all, right?
I took a quick look at the x-symbol code that deals with the buffer-
local setting. I don't understand it, except that there are a lot of
places where x-symbol-8bits gets set to computed values. So I suppose
the problem is that x-symbol-8bits is overruling your setting.
Apparently you can't customize or set it via local variables; you have
to do something tricky.
Globally this variable should be nil, and (buffer) locally it could
be
t, depending on the Local Varibable setting. That is what Local
Variables are for, no?
Sure. But we couldn't know that: we just went by your words (see
above) which imply you *want* it to be on by default.
