Maybe I am doing this wrong, but here is what I try to do. My language environment is ISO-8859-1. I have a directory that contains files with file names in UTF-8. I start dired on that directory. I want to see the UTF-8 characters so I do C-x RET r utf-8. File names display OK now. But when trying to operate on a file, say opening it, I get "File no longer exists; type `g' to update Dired buffer" It seems that dired does not keep the original file name around, but tries to open with the display name representation of the file name. When I type g, I loose the UTF-8 coding and files are now displayed as ISO-8859-1 again. Setting buffer coding to UTF-8 does not help. Do I have to set file-name-coding-system to UTF-8? This solves the problem, but my file-name-coding-system is really ISO-8859-1, it is just this one directory that is UTF-8. Thanks, Jan D.
