Hi,
I moved my home directory from a Windows to a Linux box. Now I'm getting
problems with umlauts in my .diary file.
I set the month name by loading german-holiday.el:
(setq calendar-month-name-array
["Januar" "Februar" "März" "April" "Mai" "Juni"
"Juli" "August" "September" "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"])
C-x= on the "ä" in "März" says:
character: ä (04344, 2276, 0x8e4)
charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO/IEC
8859-1): ISO-IR-100)
code point: 100
syntax: word
category: l:Latin
buffer code: 0x81 0xE4
file code: 0x81 0xE4 (encoded by coding system emacs-mule-dos)
font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO8859-1
When I do C-u C-x C-e with point after calendar-month-name-array, I get:
["Januar" "Februar" "März" "April" "Mai" "Juni" "Juli" "August" "September"
"Oktober" "November" "Dezember"]
C-x= on the "ä" in "März" says:
character: ä (07544, 3940, 0xf64)
charset: latin-iso8859-15 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 9 (ISO/IEC
8859-15): ISO-IR-203)
code point: 100
syntax: word
category: l:Latin
buffer code: 0x8E 0xE4
file code: 0x8E 0xE4 (encoded by coding system emacs-mule-dos)
font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO8859-15
1) Which of the 2 "ä" is the "correct" one for a Linux system?
2) How can I turn all "ä"s in .diary in "correct" äs?
3) How can I tell Emacs: "Take all umlauts and other weird characters in my
home directory and make with them whatever you want - but don't ever bother
me with this kind of $&%$&$% again"?
TIA
Thomas
PS: The only German month with an umlaut starts next Monday.
