Sounds reasonable. > Probably the same argument holds for Latin-9, but I'm not > completely sure (does windows-1252 contain _all_ chars from > Latin-9?). Yes, but with different code for EUR. so (prefer-coding-system 'windows-1252) might be enough, at least for reading files. The utf-8 may be important if you prefer utf-8 for saving your own files. But anyway, i don't really understand what I'm talking about ;-) David _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
