Am I supposed to be doing something to have it use latin-ltx instead of some other language? The things in my .emacs file contemporary with having set up the input mode are all about UTF-8: ;utf-8 (setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-input-method "TeX") Ted> Can you give an example?

Ted> Can you also check the actual value of your Ted> `default-input-method' to make sure it's correct? describe-variable default-input-method gives: default-input-method is a variable defined in `mule-cmds.el'. Its value is "TeX" This is in emacs-snapshot Ubuntu 8.04.
