So, if I understand this correctly, I will be able to edit my
non-english files if I set file-coding-system to 'utf-8 and finds an
UTF-8 font.
Correct?
If so, how do I find such a font on my system? I checked xfontsel and
the "only" selections for "encdng" *, 0, 1, 2, ..., 10, 13, 14, 15,
dectech, fontspecific, irv, r, ru, standard and symbol.
(I don't know what half of them stands for. The numbers are ISO 8859,
but the others I do not know.)
Or are there a better/easier way of selection a "UTF-8 font" for Emacs?
I presume that the fonts that comes with Mac OS X are UTF-8 encoded,
right? If so, I assume I need to tell something something that Emacs
should be able to use this too, right?
Shouldn't I set terminal-coding-system (or whatever the variabels name
is) to something too? set-language-environment sets a lot of things.
/Jonas, a little bewildered and on unchartered territory - to him.
