I've been having an interesting problem, for me anyway. I'm using emacs in Slackware 10.2 with the 2.6.16.27 kernel. One of the languages I like to play with is Esperanto. It uses the iso-8895-3 font set. I finally got characters to display correctly at my terminal console outside of X. The only thing I need to do is start an iso-8859-3 terminal for things to work correctly. My language environment is UTF-8, and I use the Esperanto Post-fix input method. When I go into X and start Emacs, things work fine until I try to actually display or enter Esperanto characters. When I do that, I can no longer see earlier text correctly. In other words the Esperanto characters are anything but text while ascii type text is normal. I can stop and restart Emacs to no avail. I leave X and start emacs, and it retains the same condition as when I was in X. In the end I have to reboot to get things back the way I want them. I was under the assumption that gnu/emacs was supposed to work the same for the most part in a no X environment as with X. I tried starting emacs -21.4-no-X11 (emacs -nox) in X, and it still didn't work. So my question is this what is happening? What is hijacking emacs? If I knew, I might be able to stop that process. Do I need to set something special in my Bash shell to help emacs in X. Thanks -- Douglas
