Subject: bug#29872: 26.0.90; `man' output encoding, hyphen chars
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2017 17:59:20 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2dfed463-2ddb-4591-a476-c78e0b8d445b@default> (raw)
1. emacs -Q
2. load library cygwin-mount.el
3. load library setup-cygwin.el
4. M-x man RET find RET
The two libraries are on Emacs Wiki:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs?action=elisp-area;context=0
The `man' output has (presumably) end-of-line hyphens that are not shown
as such, perhaps because of the buffer encoding. This is what is
present, for example:
This manual page documents the GNU version of find. GNU find searches
the directory tree rooted at each given file name by evaluating the
given expression from left to right, according to the rules of preceâ€
dence (see section OPERATORS), until the outcome is known (the left
(`report-emacs-bug' would not let me send this message with the above
text, so I've removed the character at the end of the line (after `â€'),
which is displayed as \220 (but a single character), so I could send the
msg.)
After "prece" there are these characters (from `C-u C-x ='):
LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX
EURO SIGN
3fff90 (displayed as \220)
The charset is apparently windows-1252 (from `C-u C-x =').
Is this an Emacs bug, or is something different needed in, say,
setup-cygwin.el? Currently, this code is in that library:
;;; Use Unix-style line endings.
;; Per Eli Z. http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21780#40:
;;
;; $$$$$$ (setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-unix)
(setq-default buffer-file-coding-system
(coding-system-change-eol-conversion
(default-value 'buffer-file-coding-system)
'unix))
and this:
(setq process-coding-system-alist
(cons '("bash" . (raw-text-dos . raw-text-unix))
process-coding-system-alist))
I do not see this problem prior to this pretest build (e.g. with Emacs
24.5 or 25.3.1). I do see the problem also with this Emacs 27 build:
GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 4, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2017-12-21
In GNU Emacs 26.0.90 (build 3, x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2017-10-13 built on LAPHROAIG
