Re: bug with start-process and start-process-shell-command
Ar an seachtú lá de mí Eanair, scríobh Mike FABIAN:
With XEmacs 21.5.x, it appears to be impossible to start a process
in
an UTF-8 locale and give non-ASCII text as command line arguments.
It isn’t, though. If you put a
(define-coding-system-alias 'native 'utf-8)
at the start of your test file, XEmacs will pass the kana through properly.
21.5 is a beta version, and the APIs there aren’t stable. (Nor,
unfortunately, are they in very energetic development :-( ) Have a look at
the documentation for the coding-system-variable-default-value function for
some more detail on these variables.
If you’ve any suggestions on how those APIs _should_ work, they’re welcome.
