Perhaps you also know how I can make Emacs open a UTF-8-encoded file correctly? In my ~/.emacs I now enabled UTF-8 in every way I can think of (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (set-next-selection-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (set-w32-system-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) and I have enabled multibyte characters, but still Emacs always opens a UTF-8 file as "unibyte no-conversion". Using C-x RET c utf-8 RET C-x C-f to open a file is rather awkward. Peter -- No electrons used in the production of this message were harmed or mistreated in any manner.
