Emacs preferences.

Emacs preferences.

[vincent.marguerit]

Hi,

I am under Mac OS X and and changed my .emacs file to this:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'iso-accents-mode)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'latin-1)
(set-language-environment 'latin-1)
(set-foreground-color "wheat")
(set-background-color "DarkSlateGray")
(set-cursor-color "white")
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(require 'php-mode)
(add-hook 'php-mode-user-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
(add-hook 'php-mode-user-hook
'(lambda () (define-abbrev php-mode-abbrev-table "ex" "extends")))

But it's not working properly!

Any idea why this is not working ?

To be sure I put .emacs in the right directory I did a vi ~/.emacs to
modify it.  I installed Aquaemacs.

Thanks,
Vincent.

don't write:

| (set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1)
but write:
(setq terminal-coding-system 'latin-1)

generally (setq VARIABLE VALUE)

| (set-keyboard-coding-system 'latin-1)

This is bad advice. No such variable exists. When set-* commands for a
specific purpose exist, they usually exist for a good reason.

Actually now it's working because I installed Emacs carbon instead of
Aqua Emacs. Maybe Aqua emacs does not use the same file for
preferences. I don't know!

Anyway noz it's it's working....

This is the one thing I can't get to work either.
After a bit of fiddling I ended up with this:

  (when (eq window-system 'mac)
    (add-hook 'after-init-hook
	      (lambda () (set-keyboard-coding-system 'iso-latin-1))))

and, oddly enough, I think that did work for a while but now I have to
type C-x C-m k latin-1 RET after emacs has started up.

This is on GNU emacs built from the emacs-unicode-2 CVS branch:

GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.9.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)

Does anybody else see this?  Any idea why?
