Hi, I do frequently edit (vi/emacs) text files in foreign languages, in particular French and German. In fact I have a French keyboard on my ibook.
I just noticed that typing e.g. French characters produces weird (unreadable) results in text files. Now I wonder how to change this. I usually (on other computers) use a Latin-1 setting, which I find more convenient for my purposes than Unicode. So I guess the best would be to get latin-1 going under fink .. is that possible ? If not, what do I need to tell terminal/vi/emacs so that the unicode generated by the ibook is readable ? Also, is there a special setting (environment variable ?) to set so that when I login another computer, vi et al can correctly show texts under my terminal/xterm under fink ? (eg right now I have a text which shows fine if I log in the machine where it is stored and do a vi, but if I log in via the ibook using either terminal or xterm, I can't read the text). And last but not least, how does the language/character setting work with X11 (I use the binaries from fink/stable) ? Eg changing the keyboard under MacOsX has no effect on an xterm, whereas it changes language/encoding for a terminal. Oh yes, and what about international us style (typing ' then e for instance producing e-accent-aigu) ? With some applications this option is grayed out .. Thanks for any tips on internationalizing my fink setup ..
