================================================================ Dear Bug Team! When I use XEmacs on console tty, then entering UTF-8 characters does not get right, they (3 danish letters) end up as two double bytes characters each. First let me tell you what does work: Everything works perfect when starting XEmacs in graphical mode. In Entering UTF-8 characters in the console itself works, they become one doulbe-byte character (tested with `cat > console.txt`, entering utf-8 chars and used `hexdump test.txt` to verify the encoding. Viewing UTF-8 encoded files in XEmacs (console tty mode) also works allright, but entering them in XEmacs without X seem to generate 4 bytes per character (two double-byte), which displays as two characters, the six bytes on the next line is entered as æøå[1] ÊÞå I have found following info on WWW, but still I consider it a bug in XEmacs: http://www.maruko.ca/i18n/ If you need any further information, please contact me on jarl(a)softace.dk (I am not on the mailing list) [1] The letters at the anchor of this footnote are inserted with copy-paste from another buffer being UTF8-encoded.
