I still haven't managed to get emacs to import the locale correctly. It doesn't appear to read any of the profiles before launching. I think I'm going to need to do it in .emacs, but I haven't looked into it in greater detail.Have you tried putting it into ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist?I did try that, and emacs doesn't look at it. I'm thinking that there might be somewhere in /etc that I might try, but I've been frying other fish. Perhaps it doesn't look because I've been launching emacs from the dock. At some point, I'll look further into it, but right now my eye is turned to the majordomo port and to getting fetchmail/sendmail/procmail to work with Eudora.That should absolutely work. But then, if you can put it in .emacs, then it
will work on any Emacs on any platform, so that might be a better, more
generalized solution.
It also won't be propagated to other gui applications that don't need it, so it might be cleaner.
-- mainly because as a long time emacs user, I much prefer the "standard" GNU
emacs command set to Xemacs' implemenation. The two are NOT the same!
In any case, it's been my experience that GNU emacs -- version: GNU Emacs 20.7.1
(powerpc-apple-darwin1.4) found on on Server 10.1.5 and version: GNU Emacs 21.1.1
(powerpc-apple-darwin6.0) found on 10.2.2 client behave as one would expect emacs
to behave.
Other than that... to get the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist to be read, you must logout
of your GUI session and log back in. Restarting the Finder does not cause the terminal
app to re-read the file.
