Hi,
Thanks a lot I have set up the $HOME/.profile as you suggested
* Mike Fabian;
export LC_TIME=POSIX export LC_COLLATE=POSIX export LC_MESSAGES=en_US
LC_ALL=tr_TR netscape
Ok understood
In Emacs use M-x set-keyboard-coding-system RET utf-8 RET then it works. Add
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
to your ~/.emacs if you want to use that always. Or maybe, to do that only when Emacs is started in a locale which uses UTF-8 charmap, you may prefer:
(when (string-match "UTF-8" (shell-command-to-string "locale charmap")) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8))
(when (string-match "UTF-8" (shell-command-to-string "locale charmap")) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8))
Ok this I added to my .gnu-emacs-custom, as I read ( or my interpretation ) during the creation of the user $HOME/.emacs and $HOME/.gnu-emacs are copied from /etc/skel directory. When I start emacs yes I can type read save in utf-8 however I have some strange output on some of the keys in Capital form whether I use shift or CapsLock. <begin> # this part is written under Emacs The problematic keys are as follows: Udiaresis (Capital letter): prints out this and says Mark Set I have the same result when I use caps lock or Shift Scedilla (Capital letter): prints out Š same with caps lock and using shift Ccedilla (captial letter) I recive Invalid character message 05600,2944,0xb80 Odiaresis (capital letter): I receive Invalid character message 0340000, 114688, 0x1c000 </end> I tried with replacing SuSE created .emacs and .gnu-emacs with renaming my .gnu-emacs-custom to .emacs but still the same problem happens. However when I type these same characters in an xterm environment created by "utf8xterm" under Vim ( that is what I use for Mutt's editor) here are the results Ü Ş Ç Ö , I can type these characters I can see them on my display and there are no error messages that are visible to me. Is this a bug with emacs or are there other customizations I have to tweak. Thanks -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
