I used to have all locale settings equals C, and then I put
(set-language-environment "Latin-1") in ~/.emacs. Now I changed it
such that address@hidden, and I removed the
set-language-environment statement.
I also changed the Emacs.font X resource from a *-iso8859-1 font to a
*-iso8859-15 font. (I did this because I use the same font
everywhere, and I thought that the encoding of the font should agree
with the charset I want to use.)
After this, Emacs used the *-iso8859-15 font for displaying iso-8859-1
characters. (So I saw a Euro sign instead of the currency sign, for
example.)
I think I want a change in the way that Emacs interprets the
Emacs.font resource. I'm not sure exactly what change, though.
When constructing a fontset automatically, Emacs could either look at
the LC_CTYPE locale setting and interpret Emacs.font according to
that. Or, Emacs could look at the font name and infer the encoding
from that.
But I feel that it is natural that people setting LC_CTYPE to use the
foo encoding will also set Emacs.font to a font in the foo encoding,
instead of Latin-1. Or is my mind working in a very strange way?
