Following text is an example that occurs when starting emacs: --> These default coding systems were tried to encode text --> in the buffer =E2=80=98 *temp*=E2=80=99: --> (iso-latin-1-dos (2145 . 8217) (2169 . 8217) (2185 . 8217) (2209 --> . 8217) (2226 . 8217) (2250 . 8217)) --> However, each of them encountered characters it couldn=E2=80=99t encode= : --> iso-latin-1-dos cannot encode these: =E2=80=99 =E2=80=99 =E2=80=99 = =E2=80=99 =E2=80=99 =E2=80=99 --> --> Click on a character (or switch to this window by =E2=80=98C-x o=E2=80= =99 --> and select the characters by RET) to jump to the place it appears, --> where =E2=80=98C-u C-x =3D=E2=80=99 will give information about it. --> --> Select one of the safe coding systems listed below, --> or cancel the writing with C-g and edit the buffer --> to remove or modify the problematic characters, --> or specify any other coding system (and risk losing --> the problematic characters). I answer the mini-buffer prompt with 'utf-8' and it proceeds. I've been googling around, but can't find why, how or where I should tell it that utf-8 is my default coding system. Never had this problem with Emacs on OSX nor on various Linux distros. In fact, I'm using the same .emacs in an LXLE virtualbox (with some conditional path stuff, of course) and that emacs never complains nor hesitates about coding systems. The example above shows that we're even not talking about a physical file: the problem occurs with a *temp* buffer! Anny suggestion, any one?
