Stef> alright, will do that asap. Muchas gracias. Stef> btw, i seem to recall you're working on mule, right? Yes. Stef> i'm having some problems with 'common lisp' with utf-8 Stef> encoding, somehow the displaying of a utf-8 file causes me a Stef> major problem, Install Mule-UCS from packages, put (require 'un-define) (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)) (set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 utf-8) and you should be fine _with standard national fonts_ for all character sets you use. It's not yet ＠nicode inside, it's still Mule codes that basically encode the XLFD registry (ie, the national standard) in each character. Stef> and i've had a hard time telling xemacs how to use a unicode Stef> font. You can't do it directly, at least not without extreme hackery. Mule doesn't have a real Unicode charset internally, so there's nothing to bind a Unicode registry to. It would not be straightforward to create, either, because Unicode is not ISO 2022-compatible. So you'd have to translate it to multiple 96x96 pages. You can run -nw with (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) if you really want the Unicode font for some reason. It should be possible to do this right pretty soon once Ben merges his new stuff. So I'm going to have to say "stick with Mule-UCS for the moment." Stef> is there realy support for utf-8 yet or is it still Stef> balancing between some packages and mule. No, there is not really support for Unicode as a character set. There is real support (Mule-UCS) for Unicode as an external encoding, but it's not optimal. Stef> is there a howto to get started or an faq entry ? No, there should be. Er ... FAQ is done. In CVS 21.5. What documentation there is is in the Mule-UCS Texinfo manual. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
