Re: utf-8
Thanks Frédéric, I solved the problem by using Notepad and saving the file in utf-8. dubcek Frédéric Bron wrote: I use with success the windows version of lily combined with vim (:set encoding=utf-8).

Re: utf-8
Due to my clumsiness, I sent a message erroneously to answer your reply to a query I made in last August concerning the same problem (as well as another problem which I have solved meanwhile). As you may have read in the message I sent just a few minutes ago, I solved the problem by using notepad after having tried out your kind suggestion about using C-x RET f (and then type utf-8). I also tried your other suggestion that you say worked on an old emacs version, but that didn't work either. My nth installment of XEmacs is XEmacs 21.4 (patch 19) which cannot be said to be old. But now I noticed that, if I open the text file of Notepad in Xemacs, the utf-8 for the accent circonflexe appears to have completely changed its appearance. The weird thing is that, if I type the letter â (a with an accent circonflexe) in an Emacs file it appears exactly as I want it. But if I open a notepad text file that contains an â in in XEmacs, I obtain the capital letter A capped by an ~ and flanked by a cross between an o and a ç. Whatever the case may be, all is not well. dubcek Mats Bengtsson-4 wrote: Open the file in Emacs, press CTRL-x Return f and enter: utf-8 You should see a -u at the bottom left corner of the window. Then, the next time you save the file, it should be in UTF-8. This didn't work for me the first time I tried it, since I had an old .emacs file that changed some of the default settings. What helped then (as a temporary fix until I had cleaned up my .emacs file) was Meta-x toggle-enable-multibyte-characters. /Mats Quoting dubcek [EMAIL PROTECTED]: For about a year now.
