Just noticed this popup warning buffer when emacs starts up: Warning (i18n): `standard-display-european' is semi-obsolete If you must display this warning, I suggest you also include the precise function call to replace it (set-language-environment with specific arguments, or whatever). As is, the warning conveys little information, and the docs for set-language-environment are too brief for me to understand. Hope this comment is useful.
The first thing I'd expect a user to do after reading that warning is `C-h f standard-european-display', which does suggest replacing the call with one to set-language-environment. Calling it interactively (via M-x) provides the user with completion on the valid LANGUAGE-NAME argument values; it seems obvious that "Latin-1" is the value that corresponds to the ISO 8859 European characters. describe-language-environment also provides completion for LANGUAGE-NAME, and then of course provides a very useful description. Perhaps that could be mentioned in standard-european-display's doc string to help the user select the right value. -- Kevin Rodgers
