Package: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.20-2
Severity: normal
If I open a file with certain unicode characters then
xemacs21 will fail to display them. Saving the file will
replace those characters with question marks.
This makes xemacs21 (mule and non-mule) unfit for working on unicode
encoded text files.
Try this unicode test file for example:
http://www.w3.org/2001/06/utf-8-test/UTF-8-demo.html
The german quotes is destroyed, and some other stuff too.
The file displays fine in web browsers or xterm though.
I have LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8
My .xemacs/init.el:
(require 'un-define)
(set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8))
(set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 'utf-8)
I translate software using xemacs "po" mode. The po-files
are correctly marked as using utf-8. Still, xemacs21 doesn't
support all of utf-8.
Getting an occational wrong character on the screen is not a big
issue for me - incomplete fonts do that all the time anyway.
But having xemacs21 wreck valid utf-8, replacing some characters
with "?" is a show-stopper for my use. It'd be very nice if
xemacs21 would simply leave alone any character it doesn't "understand",
so it isn't changed in output.
Other editors I use don't have this problem, but they don't
have a po-mode either. :-(
