Oops. So, again: Hi, recently I've downloaded Mac-Emacs Version 21.3.50.1 from=20 http://www.mindlube.com/products/emacs/. It installed fine on my=20 iBook OS X 10.3 (Panther). Meanwhile, I could convince it to=20 accept German Umlaute characters type and display correctly (many=20 thanks to Patrick Gundlach) by adding these two lines into my .emacs: (set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman) (custom-set-variables '(default-frame-alist (quote ((tool-bar-lines . 0)=20 (menu-bar-lines . 1) (font .=20 "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac"))))) To make it short, sometimes when opening files edited with BBEdit=20 7 it falls to it's old strange behavior with neither displaying=20 nor accepting German Umlaute types ;-(. Then, characters like =F6=E4=FC=DF= =20 (oau with double dots above and SS) are display with upgrave,=20 promille, cyrillic comma and ligatur fl or even squares and other=20 embarrassing stuff. For four days now, I've been googling around to find an infinitive=20 solution to keep Emacs working alright -- meaning with all types=20 of character sets, but there was nothing to be find. In fact, I=20 don't even have an idea what the error is. The help inside Emacs=20 or some howtos around are somewhat spanish to me since there seem=20 to be lots of options to set up, e.g. font, kbd-layout,=20 text-encoding etc. I wasn't able to sample all this stuff into one=20 solution sheet, moreover, I wasn't able to understand most of them. Could anyone post some hints from his/her .emacs file or run=20 several diagnostics with me? I plan to create a sheet on my=20 website to describe how other can setup their Emacs on Mac=20 alright, that is ;-). Thanks, S=F6ren from Germany PS: Would be nice if replied via email, too ;-). --=20 http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~sovo soeren.vogel@phil.tu-chemnitz.de ICQ 257 394 586
