Subject: Problems with a scandinavian alphabet on a Debian Linux
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:15:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14674AE9-1203-495D-B940-FADD2EF82F9C@iki.fi> (raw)
Hi,
I am using a Debian Linux system at home and for a while I have been
struggling with a major annoyance. Namely, when writing any Finnish
text (or Swedish text for that matter), I am in need to produce the
letter 'ä'. However, when I press the key 'ä' what appears on my GNU-
Emacs screen running in an X-window is 'ae'. Now this sounds to me
like mapping non-US characters to US replacements. But at the same
time the rest of the scandinavian alphabets are produced properly,
i.e. I get 'åöÅÄÖ' properly to the screen. Only the lower case 'ä' is
behaving in a strange way.
Unfortunately I can not tell exactly when this strange behaviour
started, but I have never seen it before during the 15+ years of
ahppily using GNU-Emacs. The version of Emacs I am running right now
is 23.1.1.
My guess is something is misconfigured during an upgrade, I just do
not know what. Any clues are highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Petri
