It  seems   it  fails   under  Mac  OS   X,  but  elsewhere   try  M-x
auto-compression-mode  that's  bound  to  the  Options/Automatic  File
Decompression menu item.

No, it works also under OSX (here : CVS version and 10.3.6).
What is your problem ?

Going to cvs update this evening.

It simply ignore the flag from the menu (I'll try the sacred named command).

Anyway, anyone  here with a good fontset  configuration for iso8859-15
characters under Carbon Emacs ?

Maybe  you could try  my cvs  checkout from  2004-11-12 ?  I have  build the
installer under 10.3.6.

I have just put it there :

I have tried this  one, but i still have some conflicts  (for example, i get
the euro  symbol displayed  from the  unicode 0100-24ff but  i have  a white
square in latin-9 with the lucida grande):

			   (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
				"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
        ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman,
        mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-lucida grande-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
        mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-apple-bitstream vera sans mono bold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
        latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman,
        latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman"
				)

Maybe it would give you some tricks ?

Ideally, i would have convert  linux unifont (iso10646 encoding) to osx font
format with fontforge, but it crashes :(

The latest build doesn't ignore the "Automatic file decompression" menu item.

And thanks for your fontset!!!!!! It worked fine!

Ok.

Really ? What  do you get, for example  with the euro sign ?  Emacs keeps on
inserting an euro utf symbol...
Would you mind to share your config file ? 

My problem  is that  i can't  get some unicode  chars and  i can't  make osx
accept my unix fonts like unifont.
For example : M-: (insert "\x4912f")  should insert a dot character but only
get a slash. I  would have use some unicode font for  a nice tree display in
Gnus.

Going to check this. I got an \200 on a message from a friend of mine

But finally I was able to read 

    perché è fatto così

(because it's done this way) invece che

    perch[] [] fatto cos[]

(each [] is a rectangle like those you get in HELLO when you miss a gliph)

SK> Would you mind to share your config file ? 

Sure.  OOps,  I  think I  have  several  ones  (Linux,  Mac OS  X  and
Wi[stomach pain]. You mean the Mac OS X version ?

Yep the osx one.

Hehe, i also use emacs on several platforms, but i keep an unified .emacs to
avoid to search and update separate .emacs...

Maybe you can take a look at
http://sebastien.kirche.free.fr/emacs_stuff/emacs

I have  just updated it. *Beware*  : it's kinda  work in progress and  it need
some housework. But look at the beginning where i have some defines specific
to windows linux and mac.

I have several computers too, and on different separate networks (home
net and work net). But you just suggested me a good idea... I could use 
work CVS - and use VPN from home to access it -

SK> Maybe you can take a look at
SK> http://sebastien.kirche.free.fr/emacs_stuff/emacs

I'll do for sure.

Thanks!

My emacs and emacs-lisp skills are a perpetual work in progress :)
