Sometimes I need to use Romanian characters. After I configure emacs to use the Romanian language environment with set-language-environment I activate an input method that allows me to write these characters with C-\. I works very well. I use the latin-2-postfix input method to write language specific characters. But, there is problem: In the above mentioned input method if I write      s , I obtain the character      ş (UNICODE: U+015F; ISO-8859-2/iso-latin-2: 0xBA or 186; Entity: ş) which is very similar but NOT THE SAME with the Romanian character      ș (UNICODE: U+0219; ISO-8859-16/iso-latin-10: 0xBA or 186; Entity: ș) These are two distinct characters. Visually there is no problem reading a Romanian text containing U+015F instead of U+0219 but there can be problem when we perform character conversions or searches. For example if I write my Romanian text with U+015F instead of U+0219 and save it in unicode all works well. But then if I want to convert that file to ISO-8859-16, the convertor will tell me that the character U+015F cannot be converted to the requested character set. By giving emacs the command "describe-language-environment" in the Romanian environment I can see that  iso-latin-10 is listed as a Coding system appropriate for this environment. My question is: Is it possible to configure emacs use iso-latin-10 instead of iso-8859-2 in the Romanian enviroment? Best regards Cristian
