Re: printing works, pretty print not
XEmacs Beta denizens: this is a followup to a post on

(define-coding-system-alias 'iso-latin-1 'iso-8859-1))
So should we go on a witch hunt for instances of iso-latin-1? I see one
instance in the current sources, in lisp/term/linux.el. The comment
right above it says it doesn't matter, but we ought to use the right
symbol anyway, no?
In the packages, these files contain instances that might need to be
fixed as well:
xemacs-packages/bbdb/texinfo/bbdb.texinfo
xemacs-packages/gnus/lisp/mm-util.el
xemacs-packages/gnus/texi/emacs-mime.texi
xemacs-packages/mh-e/mh-comp.el
xemacs-packages/w3/texi/w3-faq.txi
But not in ps-print. In fact, I don't see the string "iso" in ps-print
at all. Kilian, have you updated your ps-print package lately and
checked whether the problem has gone away?
