I just installed Enhanced Carbon Emacs (version 2.1, emacs 21.3.50.4) on mac os X 10.2.4, and I have no succes trying to save mac-roman encoded files (saving as latin1 works fine). I tried adding a number of things to my .emacs, such as (prefer-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac) (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac) (set default-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-mac) with no result. The files do get saved, but are unreadable by other mac apps. Even re-opening them with emacs I get a bunch of ????'s (only accentuated characters such as =E9, =E0, =F4, etc. come out OK : '=E9t=E9'= gets saved as '=E9?=E9'). Trying to set the coding from emacs (c-x ret f mac-roman) does not help either. For some odd reason I can correctly open mac-roman files, but saving them does not work. Also : whenever I lauch emacs.app I get the following message on console.app : ## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias of type (regR/carP/x!bt) but lauching terminal.app does that too. Maybe it has to do with the many emacs's installed in /usr/bin (?) Any help will be greatly appreciated !
