1) Even though the following is in my .emacs: (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) when I type 'C-x ret f' I see the prompt:Coding system for visited file (default, nil) instead of (default, utf-8)
Maybe you need a: (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
2) Has it been pretty much decided that copypasting Unicode using theclipboard between emacs and MS apps is impossible for OS versions earlierthan W2000?
I don't think so, but it's natural to assume that all Losedows from last millennium has no idea of Unicode.
After many months of lurking there I am beginning to suspect that some of the following settings are particularly inappropriate: (set-language-environment 'UTF-8) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq coding-system-for-write 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (modify-coding-system-alist 'process "[cC][mM][dD][pP][rR][oO][xX][yY]" 'utf-8-dos)What could the clipboard and selection variables be set to in order togive me a better chance of copypasting Unicode successfully?
I would think it's some CP125x code page (1250: Extended European, 1251: Cyrillic, 1252: ANSI, something like ISO 8859-1 or ISO Latin-1). And it's probably best to set this as a default -- or how do you print or email an UTF-8 text from this Losedows?
