Emacs Turkish Support

Emacs Turkish Support

[mdozturk]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a Turkish website and I'm using emacs as an editor
to edit my php/html files.  I decided to use utf-8 as the coding
method, windows XP supports the turkish q keyboard.

I can create files with no problems whatsoever, I see turkish
characters correctly in emacs, they keyboard works as it is supposed
to, the web site correctly displays turkish characters.

I decided to edit one of the files I created earlier, when emacs loads
the file it thinks the file is latin-1 and loads it as such so I see
garbage on screen.  I try to tell emacs that the encoding is utf-8
using C-X RET f utf-8-dos RET C-X C-F filaname.  Emacs seems to like
that command (I get a 'u' on the lower left specifying the buffer is
utf-8) but the screen still shows garbage.

I'm using emacs 21.3.1.

Any suggestions?

Mustafa

How about:

    (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.html\\'" 'utf-8)
    (modify-coding-system-alist 'process 'UTF-8 'UTF-8)
       (setq default-terminal-coding-system    'utf-8)
       (set-default-coding-systems             'utf-8)
       (prefer-coding-system                   'utf-8)

In most cases, it is cleaner to just change one's locale, as in

   export LC_ALL=fr_CH.UTF-8

check `locale -a' to see which locales are available and figure which one
you want,

You don't have locales on a Windows XP system.

Cordially, Ismael

I'm sure there's an equivalent, probably called differently.
But in any case you can use

    (set-locale-environment "foo.UTF-8")

in your .emacs.
