I can look at a utf8 file including Georgian, Thai, Braille, mathematical signs,... without problems. C-h C gives me Coding system for saving this buffer: u -- mule-utf-8-unix Default coding system (for new files): u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8) Coding system for keyboard input: nil Coding system for terminal output: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8) Defaults for subprocess I/O: decoding: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8) encoding: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8) Only aspell isn't working in emacs. So there is no need of setting LANG somewhere, isn't it? If it was still necessary, do I have to put it into .Xressources? Thanks Sebastian
