Re: umlauts/special char through gnuclient -w/ssh

Ar an naoú lá is fiche de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Richard: A couple of things can go wrong: — XEmacs looks at LC_CTYPE, not LANG. Setting LANG to en_US.UTF-8 may make setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) to return en_US.UTF-8, or it may not. If it has worked, M-x describe-language-environment RET RET will say English (UTF-8), and the TTY will behave correctly. There are ways to configure the TTY encoding independent of the language environment, but it’s probably simplest and most constructive to get the language environment correct. — The default input mode is actively unhelpful for Western Europeans who speak languages that are not English. If this is your problem, typing ü will bring up a prompt “Shell command on region: ”, whereas typing č or € will insert those characters. To fix this, you need the following in your init file: (set-input-mode nil nil 'character) (push #'(lambda (console) (and (eq 'tty (console-type console)) (set-input-mode nil nil 'character nil console))) create-console-hook) -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
