Could we get this moving again?] I guess "only ever use one and only one encoding". E.g. don't mix latin-1 and latin-9. Do you mean don't mix encodings in .emacs? Or do you mean only use one encoding for all the files you edit? The former sounds like a fine solution: we just have to recommend it in the manual. > Can you avoid this by specifying the coding-system explicitly in .emacs? > We could recommend that users do so. Yes, with -*- coding -*-. It should also work correctly as long as they *don't* specify the encoding via elisp code in their .emacs (with calls to set-language-environment, for example). That sounds like a practical recommendation. Can you (or someone) write it up for the Emacs manual, then ack?
