I've already mailed to xemacs-beta but I've got no response at all. I use mule XEmacs 21.5-b28 "fuki" (+CVS-20071205) configured for `i686-pc-linux'. to edit large number of polish texts encoded in iso-8859-2. init.el: (I've found this somewhere in the list) (set-language-environment "Latin-2") (setq latin-unity-preapproved-coding-system-list '(iso-8859-2)) (latin-unity-install) locale : LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 In most cases xemacs recognizes coding system correctly but sometimes coding system for saving buffer is set to iso-8859-1 : Coding system for saving this buffer: Latin 1 -- iso-8859-1-unix Default coding system (for new files): Latin 2 -- iso-8859-2 Coding system for keyboard input: Latin 2 -- iso-8859-2 Coding system for terminal output: Latin 2 -- iso-8859-2 I can even I get : Coding system for saving this buffer: UTF8 -- utf-8-unix Default coding system (for new files): Latin 2 -- iso-8859-2 Coding system for keyboard input: Latin 2 -- iso-8859-2 Coding system for terminal output: Latin 2 -- iso-8859-2 I think the files are properly encoded ( `iconv -f iso-8859-2 -t utf8` does not complain). In fact some of them were prepared in xemacs in Latin2 environment. (usually edit in Latin-2 env -> save -> close -> open again -> Latin-1) I redused the problem to a very small (couple of letters) documents and got strange results: 1. if a document contains exactly one small polish letter (there are 9 of them) then coding system is always Latin-1 2. if there are just 2 polish letters then coding system is Latin-2 unless these letters are separated by any string i.e. for example: it is ok for "wziąć" but not for "wzią ć" 3. I could not automaticaly get Latin-2 coding system for documents with exactly 3 polish letters - did't check all posibilites. 4. I could't see any rule. in more complicated cases Is this a bug or my xemacs is not configured properly? Could you please help me or at least sugest where I can get help? thanks in advance Krzysztof _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
