Hi,
I'm running GNU emacs 22.0.50.1 on OS X 10.4.8
When I open a file with utf-8 characters in it,
they don't look right.
Does emacs have a command I can run which tells
the buffer to change its self so that it displays utf-8 characters correctly?
The way I work around this is sort of convoluted:
1. open a new and blank buffer
2. paste some utf-8 text [ from a browser usually ]
3. save
At this point, emacs asks me:
select coding system (default mule-utf-8)
The buffer behaves well until I shutdown emacs
and open the file a week later.
TIA,
-Dan

Well,
I figured it out:
ctrl-x ctrl-m c

As your operating-system is different, it might be
helpful to know.
