Subject: Unescaping character display.
Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 12:06:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d1at6k5b.fsf@BanjaLuka.rclayton.net> (raw)

emacs 24.5.1 is displaying some characters as numeric escapes.  For example,
the love-minor-mode description in the list-packages command output is "Minor
mode for working on L\303\226VE projects" (minus the double quotes).  My init
file contains (from dotemacs.de/dotfiles/BenoitGoudreault-Emond.emacs.html)

  (set-language-environment "Latin-1")
  (set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-latin-1)
  (setq unibyte-display-via-language-environment t)

What can I do to get the such characters to display in their unescaped form?
