Ar an seachtú lá is fiche de mí Iúil, scríobh Mike FABIAN: Yes, but you don’t want to do that; it would mean disabling set-language-unicode-precedence list, for one. For what you’re looking for, it is enough to put a call to that function in startup.el, after the call to init-mule-at-startup and before the window system initialisation code. For reference, the patch I tested that with is below; I tested it with an XEmacs that had a windows-1252 coding system with the non-Latin-1 characters mapped into the jit-ucs-charset-0 character set. (If you’re planning on distributing code with that Windows-1252 coding system, by the way, you will also want the change in http://mid.gmane.org/18091.3408.152729.823883＠parhasard.net ) It looks like Ben’s original design intended to set the language Unicode precedence list during the language environment setup, which would have, to a certain extent, avoided this problem. But not for the specific characters you’re talking about. Well, thanks to your earlier suggestion for just-in-time mapping the Unicode code point support is much better right now than it was. And I hope to commit another patch soon that preserves invalid UTF-8 sequences on decoding, which avoids the problem where Latin-1 files can be corrupted if they are opened as UTF-8 and then a small change is made. See http://mid.gmane.org/18082.9316.913823.211586＠parhasard.net . But yes, for adding real support for things like shaping, bidirectional text, the Unicode properties, composite characters and so on, using Unicode as an internal encoding is the only practical thing.
