Hello b I am desperately looking for another x-symbol user, who could confirm the following, which I have tested with xemacs -vanilla and then calling x-symbol-initialize There is *no* way to have the variable x-symbol-8bits enabled by default. Every time I open a latex file, this variable is nil. The variable can be set: - I have tried to set it via customize to t. - By using setq in the init file. - By putting it into the LaTeX-mode-hook - buy using Local variables like this ,---- | | %%% Local Variables: | %%% mode: LaTeX | %%% TeX-master: t | %%% x-symbol-8bits: t | %%% x-symbol-unique: t | %%% End: `---- - set the variable interactively in the buffer. *Only* the last method works, all the other fail, I even get ,---- | | `x-symbol-8bits' is a variable declared in Lisp. | -- loaded from "x-symbol-hooks" | | Value: nil | | This value is specific to the current buffer. | | Default-value: t `---- I am desperate. Any idea? Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
