Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2005-03-02 on CYPRESS configured using `configure --with-msvc (13.00)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENC locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: If I insert a greek character, say lambda, with (insert (make-char 'greek-iso8859-7 107)) I see a lambda. If I do (compose-region 1 2 (make-char 'greek-is8859-7 107)) the top-left character is not a lambda, but a French right quotation, character: ; (073, 59, 0x3b) charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV)) code point: 59 syntax: comment start category: a:ASCII l:Latin buffer code: 0x3B file code: 3B (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1-dos) font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-80-iso8859-1 Composed with the following character(s) to form `;'. This is unexpected behaviour for NTEmacs, and does not match my FreeBSD and Linux boxes. The same problem applies to version 21.3.1 available from the FSF download site. The goal behind making this work is to achieve `pretty-lambda's as described at the eponymous emacswiki page.
