Subject: Is it possible to use new Emacsen with non-ASCII?
Date: Thu, 15 May 2008 00:37:59 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <g0g0l7$1nv8$1@agate.berkeley.edu> (raw)
I spent (again!) a lot of time trying to teach Emacs to show 8-bit data
(in a TTY). After a lot of experiments, I see that
emacs -q -nw --unibyte
(standard-display-8bit 128 254)
(set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
(nth 1 (current-input-mode))
'8bit)
allows one to edit the files. Moreover, after I know the answer, I
can see that old Emacs manuals were at least mentioning these
commands. However, newer Emacsen replaced this info by something
absolutely uncomprehensible...
Additionally, I have no idea how to make this (or something else) work
without --unibyte. Even adding something like
(set-language-environment "Cyrillic-KOI8") all that is shown is
question marks...
Puzzled,
Ilya
