For example, if my program is: ---------------------------------------------------------------- #include int main(){ int i,j; std::cout << "Hellow Wrold!" << std::endl; return 0; } ---------------------------------------------------------------- and I compile it with: g++ -Wall -ansi -o testprog testprog.cc I get the following in my emacs compiler message window (notice the strange characters around the variables and function names): ---------------------------------------------------------------- g++ -Wall -ansi -o testprog testprog.cc testprog.cc: In function ‘int main()’: testprog.cc:6: warning: unused variable ‘i’ testprog.cc:6: warning: unused variable ‘j’ Compilation finished at Thu Jun 29 15:01:30 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The strange characters around a variable are(I have typed the backslashes and numbers so that they are displayed properly here): on left hand side: â\200\230 on right hand side: â\200\231 I guess this has something to do with the face of those strings in the compiler output in emacs. And that I may not have proper fonts installed. Am I on the right track? All inputs are welcome in solving this little problem. BTW, this started happening only after I reintalled Debian Etch a few weeks ago.
