List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: quimby.gnus.org gmane.emacs.devel:1417 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:1417 I installed today changes that should add support for Extended Segements in X selections. Extended Segements are those special leading control sequences that designate character sets beyond the list of standard charsets that is given in the ICCCM spec; one notable example is ISO 8859-15. Those control sequences begin with "ESC % /", and users of latest versions of XFree86 reported their sightings in X selections pasted into Emacs. Could people who use those versions of XFree86 and set their locales to ISO 8859-15 please test the new feature and see if it performs as expected? A similar feature is available on the RC if you set your selection-coding-system to compound-text-with-extensions. In the CVS head version, you can have the previous behavior of X selection encoding by setting selection-coding-system to compound-text-no-extensions; the new behavior is on by default in CVS head. I'd like to thank Handa-san for his guidance while I worked on this. Enjoy. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
