Subject: How do I get emacs to display accented characters?
Date: 1 Dec 2002 21:51:28 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6525a5d7.0212012151.2aae4bcf@posting.google.com> (raw)
I am using Emacs version 21.2.2, which I believe is the current version,
or close to it.
I am certain that this is a frequently-asked question, and I apologize
for asking it of you, but I have read the FAQ document, I have done
everything the info files instruct me to do, as far as I can figure out,
and I am still failing to get emacs to display accented characters.
When I use XEmacs, I have no problem. When the buffer contains, e.g.,
"Rick's Café Américain", XEmacs displays "Rick's Café Américain".
Emacs, on the other hand, displays "Rick's Cafe Americain". Unless
I do (load-library "iso-ascii"), in which case it displays "Rick's
Caf{'e} Am{'e}ricain". Nothing I do has succeeding in getting Emacs
to display "Rick's Café Américain" like XEmacs does.
These are the things that I have done, which have had no effect:
(set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-latin-1-unix)
(setq unibyte-display-via-language-environment t)
(set-language-environment 'Latin-1)
Surely there is something simple that I am failing to do. I cannot
figure out what it is. Your replies will be much appreciated. I thank
you all in advance for your help.
