For an arbitrary definition of "works". I can't imagine anything that would improve. If you are a non-Elisper, you are presumably not yet set in your ways. Given that, I'd recommend removing your .emacs file again, then do apt-get install emacs-snapshot-gtk auctex (after heeding <URL:http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsCvsAndDebian>) and then use Emacs. It will give you fewer headaches by far. Note that you don't need XEmacs to work with X11. > (even if it is a crude/disastrous peace of code). > Please tell me what should I do?

You problem will hardly be AUCTeX-related, but more likely due to wrong locale settings or XEmacs not understanding them. Stable XEmacs, even the mule variant, is really lousy with regard to dealing with utf-8 files and environments. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
