* bug#24637: 25.1; non-ascii chars fail to render in Info buffer @ 2016-10-07 12:13 ivan 2016-10-07 12:44 ` Eli Zaretskii 0 siblings, 1 reply; 17+ messages in thread From: ivan @ 2016-10-07 12:13 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 24637 [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4109 bytes --] While reading the Emacs manual in Emacs using Info-mode, I found that non-ascii characters are displayed as octal escape sequences rather than rendered as glyphs. To repro: - start emacs with -Q - open the emacs manual and start a search: C-h r s - search for a section with non-ascii chars: it requotes text typed<return> - the found sentence reads: > For example, it requotes text typed `like this' to text \342\200\230like this\342\200\231. - if correctly rendered, it would read: > For example, it requotes text typed `like this' to text ‘like this’. If I select the text and write the region to a file, I can open that file and Emacs renders it correctly. I tried to remedy this by adding the following to my init file (and commenting out the rest of the file): (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) The only effect this had was to change the default coding system for new files from utf-8-unix to utf-8. Running `describe-coding` in the Info buffer reported > Coding system for saving this buffer: t -- raw-text-unix both before and after adding the above settings. I also tried both gui and terminal, with and without the above settings, and saw the octal escape sequences in all cases.

I cannot reproduce this, so this might be something specific to OS X (unlikely) or to your system. The emacs.info file supplied with Emacs 25.1 should sets its encoding to UTF-8 in the file-local variables section near its end.

I'm unable to reproduce with Emacs 25.1 compiled via Homebrew on MacOS Sierra. When I follow the recipe in the report, I see the correct glyphs, and "utf-8" is lowercase as expected in the local variables section of emacs.info. Not sure if this is relevant, but I gave Homebrew the following arguments when building: "--with-cocoa --with-gnutls --with-imagemagic".

Just checked and I get the incorrect behaviour with the upper-case UTF-8 in emacs.info's "Local Variables:" section. I built Emacs from git myself on OS X. Now I think about it, I'm sure I've seen error messages regarding UTF-8 being invalid when building... Yup: ./../emacs/docstyle.texi:3: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.

Yup, that’s it exactly. macOS 10.12 comes with Texinfo 4.8. As far as I can tell ./configure is looking for any version above 4.6. I guess this is wrong, or the macOS version is broken. For reference, I used homebrew to install 6.3 and this fixed it: brew install texinfo brew link texinfo --force There are some warnings about linking in the upgraded version, but I can’t really see what difference it makes, and I’m not sure whether people building Emacs within homebrew itself will need to perform that step. -- Alan Third ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

If I read this correctly, the problem is with an old version of texinfo (perhaps only on macOS). If that is the case, this is not a bug in Emacs and should be closed?
