Is there any easy way to tell emacs to reinterpret (and display) a buffer with a different encoding?
This sounds so basic but I can't figure out how to do it, other than starting a new instance of emacs with different locale. In particular, I frequently have to deal with files in ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15 codings, and while emacs is perfectly able to display either correctly if it starts with the right foot, er, with correct locale, I can't figure out how to make it change its opinion of the encoding once it has opened the file. E.g., if my locale is set to something with ISO-8859-1 encoding and I open a file containing the euro symbol, it is displayed incorrectly. That's fine, emacs had no way of knowing, but how can I then tell emacs what the correct encoding is? For now I simply exit emacs and start another with [EMAIL PROTECTED] emacs or something similar, but I hate doing that. It should not be necessary to start a new emacs simply to edit files with different encodings. Please tell me I've missed something obvious. It can't be this hard. -- Tapani Tarvainen _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
