I am trying to use Gnu Emacs on MS Windows XP Japanese edition.
Does anyone know how to get Gnu Emacs to recognize Japanese characters
properly? There seem to be a lot of bugs. For example when I start Gnu
Emacs and try to open a new file, it correctly prints out
Find file: c:/Documents and Settings/bkb/デスクトップ
but then when I press "tab" it says that it can't find any files,
indicating that it simply doesn't recognize its own printout of the
directory. Going up one directory and then looking at c:/Documents and
Settings/bkb/ reveals that the desktop directory is mojibaked into
c:/Documents and Settings/bkb/\203f\203X\203N\203g\203b\203v/
I can open files in this directory OK but all the file names are
mojibaked.
The Gnu Emacs on Windows FAQ
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/big.html
says that I should add a line to .emacs
(set-w32-system-coding-system 'japanese-shift-jis)
but it seems to do no good at all.
It's a little frustrating not being able to open files in the desktop
or other folders because of the Japanese characters in the name.
Any suggestions?
