I used Linux with utf-8 locale, I never faced with encoding problems in emacs (emacs 23), for example (message "some not English text") print right message to console if I call it using emacs -batch, so I have no guess, why org-mode convert my utf-8 text to some strange encoding, the same thing happened on another machine with emacs 22, utf-8 locale and completly empty ".emacs" (a couple of lines only). May I should set utf-8 somewhere in org-mode preferences? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Could you please let me know, what if the value of `buffer-file-coding- system' in an agenda buffer, when you create the agenda by hand?

Also, could you try to run with the following in .emacs, to see if the problem disappears?

Before printing to STDOUT, I process text in this way (defun org-encode-for-stdout (string) (if (fboundp 'encode-coding-string) (encode-coding-string string buffer-file-coding-system) string)) This is done in the good intention that this is necessary to produce the text in the correct encoding. The code I sent you in my last mail just replaces this function with a dummy no-operation function, to skip this encoding step. Apparently, at least in your case, this does more harm than good, and frankly, I am not sure it ever does anything good. Maybe I implemented this because a mule-Emacs produced bad output in this way. I will change it to make the default behavior work for you, and then see if anyone comes back and complains... :-) So if you pull again from git, this should work without the snippet in .emacs. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
