In-Reply-To: <200303191058.TAA29732@etlken.m17n.org> (message from Kenichi Handa on Wed, 19 Mar 2003 19:58:57 +0900 (JST))
In unibyte buffer, by setting
unibyte-display-via-language-environment to non-nil, 8-bit
characters are converted to multibyte characters by
unibyte-char-to-multibyte on displaying. The merit of this
is that when a user changes the language environment, 8-bit
characters are displayed correctly based on the current
language environment.
That is a sensible feature, but it isn't an exact replacement
for the current features that use the display table,
such as set-language-environment in unibyte mode. It uses
set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system.
It's possible that the unibyte-display-via-language-environment feature
does mostly the same thing as set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system,
but that also sets up the display table for code 146. If it calls
standard-display-european-internal, that also sets the display
table for code 160.
If you can make unibyte-display-via-language-environment handle
codes 146 and 160 in these ways, then perhaps it would be
an exact replacement for the current feature. I am not sure.
I am also unsure whether that change would have some other drawback.
