Description Dawid Gajownik 2005-11-21 22:13:24 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051107 SeaMonkey/1.5a

Description of problem:
With default settings I'm not able to type in the console (ALT+F1) non-US-ASCII characters. Everything is fine in graphical Emacs. "C-h C RET" shows me something like this:

Coding system for saving this buffer:
  Not set locally, use the default.
Default coding system (for new files):
  u -- utf-8 (alias of mule-utf-8)
Coding system for keyboard input:
  nil
Coding system for terminal output:
  u -- utf-8 (alias of mule-utf-8)
Defaults for subprocess I/O:
  decoding: u -- utf-8 (alias of mule-utf-8)
  encoding: u -- utf-8 (alias of mule-utf-8)

[snip]

This is the same problem as bug #106929

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
emacs-21.4-8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open GNU Emacs and try to type some non-US-ASCII characters.
  

Additional info:

I use âpl_PL.UTF-8â locale and âpl2â keymap. Adding:

(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)

to the config file resolves the problem. FC4's version is also broken.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2005-11-24 04:08:23 UTC

Thanks for the report - should be fixed in next devel build (21.4-9).

Comment 2 Dawid Gajownik 2005-11-25 00:11:54 UTC

It does not work for me. Additionally, Emacs shows new warning:

End of file during parsing:
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/lang-coding-systems-init.el

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2005-11-25 09:03:45 UTC

Doh, missed a paren: should be better in 21.4-10.

Comment 4 Dawid Gajownik 2005-11-30 21:05:28 UTC

Thanks!
