Emacs Magit and Emacs shell don't dispaly special characters (such as =C3= =B1, =C3=AD, =C3=B3) on their output. It is strange because a command that inc= ludes a special character is displayed. But a special character from the output will not be displayed correcly. Those special characters are displayed correctly on afairs such as opening a file with those characters. With 'emacs -Q' I did not have that problem. When copying .emacs.d to another directory, setting that directory as HOME and running emacs with 'mkdir ~/temp', 'cp ~/.emacs.d ~/temp/' and 'HOME=3D"~/temp" emacs', it would not use my configurations. But it would not have the problem with Emacs shell. Emacs Magit would not be available either. The same situatio= n is with 'emacs -Q' as with 'HOME=3D"~/temp" emacs'. Sample from BASh displaye correctly: quiliro@GSD3 ~/magit/prueba0$ git log commit 0904ec46cb737d2116d59b0b7c4f0c21a74feb70 (HEAD -> master) Author: quiliro Date: Sun Sep 8 15:43:09 2019 -0500 Modificaci=C3=B3n remota commit 5024f6d525b1b61cd2691aaaa60dde07ae6f489f (origin/master) Author: ramiro.ordonez Date: Sun Sep 8 13:20:11 2019 -0500 A=C3=B1ad=C3=AD a mi amor quiliro@GSD3 ~/magit/prueba0$ Same command sample from Emacs shell displayed incorrectly: quiliro@GSD3 ~/magit/prueba0$ git log WARNING: terminal is not fully functional - (press RETURN) commit 0904ec46cb737d2116d59b0b7c4f0c21a74feb70 (HEAD -> master) Author: quiliro Date: Sun Sep 8 15:43:09 2019 -0500 Modificaci=C3=83=C2=B3n remota commit 5024f6d525b1b61cd2691aaaa60dde07ae6f489f (origin/master) Author: ramiro.ordonez Date: Sun Sep 8 13:20:11 2019 -0500 A=C3=83=C2=B1ad=C3=83=C2=AD a mi amor quiliro@GSD3 ~/magit/prueba0$ I am not sure if this is related that in Icecat I sometimes see square boxes with numbers inside them in place of characters. But other special characters are displayed. That is probably a missing font. It could be a separate problem. Happy hacking!
