I am using a CVS Emacs a few days old.
I use Latin-1 in my LANG.
I edit a Latin-1 file.
I save it.
Sometimes, Emacs complains:
These default coding systems were tried to encode text
in the buffer `w3mtmp513-0':
iso-8859-1-unix
However, each of them encountered these problematic characters:
iso-8859-1-unix: ' '
The first problematic character is at point in the displayed buffer,
and C-u C-x = will give information about it.
Select one of the following safe coding systems, or edit the buffer:
iso-8859-15 iso-8859-14 utf-8 mule-utf-16-be mule-utf-16-le
Or specify any other coding system
on your risk of losing the problematic characters.
This makes no sense, the space character cannot be at fault.
When I choose iso-8859-15 and save the buffer, the modeline indicates
this with a 0. When I use find-alternate-file to find the file
again, the file is opened as Latin-1 again (this makes sense, it is
my preferred coding system).
How can I debug such a problem in the future?
Alex.
