UTF-8 is generally very low on the priority list of the possible encodings, so IIRC the user needs to invoke prefer-coding-system to get UTF. If she doesn't, almost any other encoding will be preferred to UTF-8. Is this some language environment that is already supposed to prefer UTF-8? If so, could the user who saw the problem please submit a full bug report with the necessary info supplied by "M-x report-emacs-bug"? > I think it has been fixed in the main branch.

If the problem doesn't exist in CVS head, it's by sheer luck, because IIRC the definition of ctext-no-compositions is identical in both branches. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
