emacs-cvs-unicode

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Hello, 
I have installed emacs-cvs-23.0.0-r7 from gentoo.
every things is working correctly except the french accentued
characters. My configuration is the same that on emacs-cvs-23.0.50 
where everythings works perfectly.
When i hit one of these keys (e with accents say...) i have first in 
mini-buffer the right char followed by a "-"
If i hit a second time the same key, i have (in the current buffer now)
a chinese or japonese sign instead of my "e accent"!!! 
Do i have something else to modify to make emacs-unicode working
with french accents ?

Did you try to launch Unicode Emacs 23.0.0 with the option -Q? This  
makes it run not using any of your pre-Unicode settings.

To find out what "code" any Emacs sees when a key is pressed, use C-h  
k <key press or mouse event>. You'll also "see" when input is  
finished, then the *Help* buffer will open or change its previous  
contents.

To make Unicode Emacs 23.0.0 a very useful tool don't use set- 
language-environment! Rather take care to set environment variable  
LC_CTYPE to something like fr_FR.UTF-8 and make sure that the value  
of file-name-coding-system and default-file-name-coding-system is the  
one your system actually uses. There is no unify-8859-on-decoding- 
mode or unify-8859-on-encoding-mode necessary. For me, on Mac OS X,  
LC_CTYPE and (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) do the most.
