Lucien Meyers @ 2002-04-20 9:43 UTC (permalink / raw) This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation, not to your local site managers! Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

When entering Latin 9 umlaut special characters in X, examples ö, ä, ï, ü, the emacs parsing in X is incorrect and renders a Czech s. This is definitely an emacs bug because: 1. it occurs identically when starting emacs with the -q switch 2. it always occurs in the same way 3. it does NOT occur in xemacs or other X applications loaded simultaneously with emacs in other X consoles on the same machine.

The former is unlikely to get non-trivial changes, even if reported 2 months ago. Also, please tell how exactly did you type the Latin-9 characters.

Please go to one of those characters and type "C-u C-x =". I believe you will see that it's a Latin-9 character, not a Latin-2 character. Latin-9 replaces the diaeresis character (whose Latin-1 code is 168 decimal) with a ``s with caron'', which is what you see, I believe. > Cannot enter normal double quotation marks on X using emacs.

Do you have some optional feature turned on? Does your system have its keyboard set to UTF-8 mode or something?

Latin-9 doesn't have a single diaeresis character, so you can't have it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
