#38040: emacs-mac-app and coding system --------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: angelo.graziosi@… | Owner: hum@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: utf-8, iso-latin1 Port: emacs-mac-app | --------------------------------+------------------------------- Changes (by sean@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: Being that this works from launching emacs-mac from the command line, that would seem to imply that there an environment variable missing / not being set the same way as in you shell (this is a common problem on the mac with .app programs). I was a little dubious I could recreate the problem but I did! And it's not that bad, following the advice here: http://email.esm.psu.edu/pipermail/macosx-emacs/2011-January/002537.html you can get the behavior you want by setting (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) in your .emacs file. The better question is why this doesn't happen for emacs-app nor Aquamacs to which I don't know. If anyone knows the answer to that, please let me know by reopening the ticket. For now, I'll close this as invalid since it seems to be a config setting(?). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38040#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
