hi,
I'm using GNU Emacs 21.2.1 in SuSE 8.2.
When I type the letter ñ (n with ~ above it), or ¿ (open question mark) or ¡ (open exclamation sign) emacs hangs (100% cpu).
----<text snipped>--- Hi Carlos, I don't use emacs, but my System Admin does, and so I have it installed on my 8.2 box. While looking for "fonts", I noticed: intlfonts-bdf Mule_UCS and several other emacs "fonts" type rpms. You might want to do search in YOU with "emacs" on the search line and checking everything: name, description, provides, etc. Hope this helps, Gar -- In the Beginning was the Command Line ---Neal Stephenson -- __________________________________________________________________ Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service.

Ah, mule was not installed; after doing so, it doesn't crash... but I can not type the "ñ": I have to insist three or four times pressing the letter "ñ" till it prints something on the screen, which is not "ñ", but "?". Installing intlfonts-bdf doesn't help, either. It doesn't crash, but I can't type the special Spanish characters. Argh... the more I use it, the more I dislike it: I can not understand why I can not use a letter which is on the keyboard. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Carlos it may be on your keyboard but as long as you use LANG=en_US you will not be able to type it what is your keyboard layout for etc/X11/XF86Config Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "tr" <---------- Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection -- Togan Muftuoglu | Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer | Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net | Please don't put me in TO/CC.

It was solved using "LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 emacs", as you said :-)
what is your keyboard layout for etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "tr" <---------- Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection
I don't think that had anything to do, it is correct: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Driver "Keyboard" Option "MapName" "Standard Keyboard [ pc102 ]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "es" <-------------- Option "XkbModel" "pc102" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection I'm always starting emacs from inside xterm (emacs file1 file2 &) in order to save keystrokes loading the files, and to position it at the working directory. I'm the kind of lazy people that go extra steps to save other steps every day ;-) The funny thing is that emacs is the first program I find that refuses to acept the egnie letter (ñ) even using the "LANG=en_US" locale: all editors worked... but emacs :-p Thanks for your help :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
