Hi Kenichi, > Please try to comment out the following line in your .emacs: > > (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) > > Doesn't it fix the problem? O yes, it does! A little problem remains, however. Although I can see the nine Polish letters as they should look, one of them, lslash, has a different code than it should. Please, have a look at the little screen shot enclosed to this letter and at what Emacs reports about the two characters. Many thanks to Richard and to You for so quick response. Rysiek For the proper Polish lslash, typed into Emacs, the editor reports: character: ł (331874, #o1210142, #x51062, U+0142) charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff (Unicode characters of the range U+0100..U+24FF.) code point: #x20 #x62 syntax: w which means: word category: l:Latin buffer code: #x9C #xF4 #xA0 #xE2 file code: #xC5 #x82 (encoded by coding system utf-8) display: by this font (glyph code) -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO10646-1 (#x142) There are text properties here: fontified t For the character similar to our lslash Emacs reports: character: ł (70825, #o212251, #x114a9, U+0142) charset: korean-ksc5601 (KSC5601 Korean Hangul and Hanja: ISO-IR-149.) code point: #x29 #x29 syntax: _ which means: symbol category: h:Korean buffer code: #x93 #xA9 #xA9 file code: #xC5 #x82 (encoded by coding system utf-8) display: by this font (glyph code) -Daewoo-Gothic-Medium-R-Normal--16-120-100-100-C-160-KSC5601.1987-0 (#x2929) There are text properties here: fontified t
