bug#3745: 23.0.95; emacs-23.0.95: unibyte-display-via-language-environme


From: Jay Berkenbilt
Subject: bug#3745: 23.0.95; emacs-23.0.95: unibyte-display-via-language-environment
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:39:58 -0400

I have this habit of editing binary files in emacs.  I notice a change
in behavior in 23.0.95 (which is the first 23 pretest I've run) relative
to what I've seen in emacs 22.  Specifically, I no longer see most
characters in unibyte mode.  I'll be specific.

xrdb -load /dev/null

emacs-22 -q
M-x set-variable unibyte-display-via-language-environment RET t RET
M-x set-language-environment RET Latin-1 RET
M-x find-file-literally RET /bin/ls RET

In this case, I see ^x for characters between 0 and \037, the ASCII
character for \040-\177, \ooo for (unprintable) characters between \200
and \237, and the ISO-Latin-1 character for \240 through \377, as
expected.

With the same commands under emacs-23.0.95, I see ^x for \0 to \037, and
I see some normal 7-bit ASCII characters, but for other ASCII characters
and for everything \200 or above, I see various rectangles of various
widths.  I can still see the buffer the way I want to by doing

C-x RET c iso-latin-1-unix RET C-x C-f /bin/ls

which is, I suppose, pretty much the same thing, but it seems like the
old behavior is right and the new behavior is probably a bug.  Please
let me know if there's any other information I should supply.
