I converted my Debian etch system to an UTF-8 environment. Emacs in X: Works fine xterm: Works find Emacs in xterm: Trouble (e.g. within mutt)
While characters are displayed correctly, both for files with UTF-8 and with iso-8859-1 encoding (emacs detects that automatically), the keyboard input of characters with diacritics does not work. (I use an English keyboard and Compose-"-a for Umlaut-a). I have tried various combinations of the following settings in my .emacs file, but to no avail: ; ;; My old stuff for ISO-8859-1 ; (standard-display-european t) ; (iso-accents-mode 1) ; ;;CF 2006-12-01 (set-keyboard-coding-system 'iso-latin-1) ; (setq iso-accents-language "german") ; special german only in later versions ; (or (assq 'iso-accents-mode minor-mode-map-alist) ; (setq minor-mode-alist ; (append minor-mode-alist ; '((iso-accents-mode " ISO-Acc"))))) ; ;; New stuff from web pages ; ;; Various combinations have been tried ; (setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8) ; (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) ; (set-keyboard-coding-system locale-coding-system) ; (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) ; (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) ; (prefer-coding-system locale-coding-system) ; (when (not window-system) ; (set-keyboard-coding-system locale-coding-system) ; (set-terminal-coding-system locale-coding-system) ; ) ; (set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode)) (nth 1 (current-input-mode)) 1) I would be grateful for any hints solving that problem.
