Hello Everybody,

I would like to report that copying a text with Polish national
letters from an X-based program (like: xterm, gnome terminal,
kde terminal, thudirbird, firefox) and pasting it into Emacs
does not work properly within an environment which is utf-8,
both in the operating system and in Emacs.

If you can see the following eighteen Polish letters

??????Ó??????????ó

properly in your e-mail client, which you should if you have set
utf-8 as your basic encoding, then could you copy them into Emacs,
also configured to work with utf-8? Do you see them right? If so,
I would be happy to know all of your settings. My related .emacs
settings are quoted below.

Currently, I am running a pretest Emacs version 22.00.92.1, installed
from a tarball. Previously, I had version 22.00.52.1, compiled from
CVS sources. I am running Emacs under Linux Fedora 5. In both these
versions the Polish characters get mangled when they are copied into
Emacs. Interestingly, copying Polish characters from Emacs to other
X-based utilities works fine. Also, I do not experience problems with
editing Polish texts, whether I am using iso-latin-2 or utf-8 encoding.

As the problem is somewhat technical, can anybody who knows the 
respective fragments of Emacs write my in private, to decide
whether it's really a bug in Emacs or just a matter of wrong
settings within my .emacs. Of course, I may supply any necessary
information about my installation.

Since unicode is now the core issue of Emacs develpmpent, then if
what I have described is result of a bug then it has to be removed.

Cheers,
Rysiek

The font I am using is:

I am also using cua-mode, with this customization setting:

  '(cua-mode t nil (cua-base))

Interestingly, when I copy the Polish letters from another
X-based program into Emacs, the following messages are generated:

Loading subst-ksc...done
Loading subst-gb2312...done
Loading subst-big5...done
Loading subst-jis...done

Do these have anything to do with East European languages?

Please try to comment out the following line in your .emacs:

(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)

Doesn't it fix the problem?

Anyway, as the above line should not cause a problem, I'm
now invetigating how to fix it.

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.

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
