Subject: Display of no break spaces
Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:16:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8638yipftx.fsf@free.fr> (raw)
Hello,
I don't understand the mechanism used to display no break
spaces. The character is displayed as a big box with what looks
like small numbers inside. My config is the following:
GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) of 2012-08-29 on MARVIN
default font is -outline-consolas-normal-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-c-*-*
Here is the ouput of F1-v nobreak-char-display:
nobreak-char-display is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is t
And here is the output of describe-char on a no break space:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
position: 223 of 305 (73%), column: 0
character: (displayed as ) (codepoint 160, #o240, #xa0)
preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
code point in charset: 0xA0
syntax: . which means: punctuation
category: .:Base, b:Arabic, j:Japanese, l:Latin
buffer code: #xC2 #xA0
file code: #xA0 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1-dos)
display: by display table entry [?] (see below)
The display table entry is displayed by these fonts (glyph codes):
: -- no font --
face: `link'
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: NO-BREAK SPACE
old-name: NON-BREAKING SPACE
general-category: Zs (Separator, Space)
decomposition: (noBreak 32) (noBreak ' ')
There are text properties here:
fontified t
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I don't understand why the no break space is displayed using link
face. What can I do to change the way it is displayed?
