Not initially. When I set a coding system for the next command or I  
start the file with

        ;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: windows-1250-unix; -*-

then I see the mode-line starting with ``-*:´´.

It could be a general problem. (A Czech Mac OS X and Aquamacs Emacs  
user found this. I then checked it with /usr/local/bin/emacs-22.0.50 - 
Q.)

I am trying to attach one with the header line of above! I've made it  
in Unicode Emacs 23.0.0. (In GNU Emacs 22.0.50 not always all glyphs  
are shown, even if font or fontset are OK for this job; I'll  
investigate this a bit more and make a new bug report.)

BTW, what are the regularly used Code Pages in MS Losedows in the  
world of Latin scripts? (For to create some more reference files.)
