Package: emacs21 Version: 21.4a-1 Severity: normal In UTF-8 locales, from UXTerm or Gnome-Terminal:
dixsept:~> echo .\\u20ac. .€. dixsept:~> emacs -q blah If I select the output of "echo .\\u20ac." and paste it to emacs, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In hex: 2e 1b 25 47 c3 a2 c2 82 c2 ac 1b 25 40 2e. The solution I found in gnu.emacs.help (setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING)) doesn't work. If I copy-paste from Firefox, I get what I expect, but can't save the file (emacs doesn't recognize it as UTF-8). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.10-20050517 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages emacs21 depends on: ii emacs21-bin-common 21.4a-1 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libtiff4 3.7.3-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libungif4g 4.1.3-3 shared library for GIF images (run ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X pixmap library ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-8 Xaw3d widget set ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-1 compression library - runtime emacs21 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
