emacs-unicode: `Encoded-kbd' weirdness during batch-mode

emacs-unicode: `Encoded-kbd' weirdness during batch-mode

[Miles Bader]

I have a feeling the following shouldn't happen:

   $ emacs --version
   GNU Emacs 22.0.0.7
   Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   GNU Emacs comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

   $ echo $LANG
   ja_JP.UTF-8

   $ make -C /usr/local/build/emacs/unicode/lisp recompile
   make: Entering directory `/usr/local/build/emacs/unicode/lisp'
   ../src/emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -f batch-byte-compile /usr/local/src/emacs/unicode/lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.el
   Unsupported coding system in Encoded-kbd mode: utf-8
   make: *** [/usr/local/src/emacs/unicode/lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.elc] エラー 255
   make: Leaving directory `/usr/local/build/emacs/unicode/lisp'


Compilation succeeds if I do `LANG=C' first.

Thanks,

BTW, this same error occurs if I start emacs in a terminal with
`emacs -nw -q', and causes emacs to abort startup, and not visit any
files I gave on the command-line.

Even if it's hard to support utf-8 input (is it?), should this really
be an error, given that it's somewhat out of the user's control?

A possible side-effect of the error also seems to be that it doesn't
set the terminal-coding-system from LANG for output either.  If I
start emacs with LANG=ja_JP.utf8, files containing non-ascii
characters are displayed as question-marks, but I can make them
display correctly by using `C-x C-m t' -- but the trunk does this
automatically from LANG.

Thanks,

The reason of this bug was in another place.  In
emacs-unicode, the default of terminal coding system was
no-conversion, thus (set-terminal-coding-system nil) doesn't
set terminal coding system to default-terminal-coding-system
(which is utf-8).  I've just installed a fix.

Thank you for finding this bug.  It seems that I made a
mistake when I merged a change in trunk.  I've just
installed a fix.

Thank you -- now I can actually input characters from my utf-8 terminal!

It still doesn't seem to set the terminal-coding-system from LANG
correctly though:  If I start emacs in a terminal with LANG=ja_JP.utf8,
then _input_ now works great, but the just-input characters still show
as question marks; the beginning of the modeline is `U=U'.  Setting the
terminal coding system manually with `C-x C-m t' makes the modeline say
`UUU', and then everything displays correctly.  [This is somewhat the
opposite of the trunk -- it defaults the terminal output coding system
correctly based on LANG, but utf-8 input doesn't seem to work.]

Thanks,

-Miles
