The coding system should be associated with the file the buffer is visiting, but a fresh buffer still shows a coding system indicator in the modeline even if it is not (yet) associated with a file. That coding system always seems to be the default coding system as provided by the language environment. > Anyway, with the same context described above, what's the return value > for: > > (detect-coding-string (org-export-as 'latex) t) Depends on what language environment is set to, but with the default setting of my Emacs (German) it becomes iso-latin-1, independently of what the coding system in the original Org buffer was. I think that the export buffer coding system should be explicitly set (via buffer-file-coding-system, which is automatically buffer-local) to copy the coding of the parent buffer (or the coding specified via export options if anything like that exists) so that the default choice of the language environment doesn't kick in.
