I think I identified the cause for this. The problem shows up particularly in LaTeX files. Those are opened with a raw-text-dos file coding system which prevents character code conversion. The raw-text-dos file coding system being picked is likely the result of missing autoloads for latexenc.el in the Windows build. I sent a bug report to emacs-pretest-bugs. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
