-- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages konwert depends on: ii konwert-filters 1.8-9 Filters used by konwert for charse ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-22 The GNU stdc++ library ii perl 5.8.4-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information Hello, When using konwert, konwert-filters and dynafont in order to get a utf-8 enabled virtual text console to use with Emacs, the VERY important C-g key combination (control-g, "keyboard-quit") does no longer work in Emacs. "view-lossage" (which can be used from within Emacs) proves that C-g isn't even detected when it has been typed on the keyboard. So, if for instance, one is using the newsreader Gnus (from within Emacs) on a virtual text console, one is no longer able to abort the downloading of let's say 40 000 articles, since C-g is no longer functional! I launch Emacs like this: filterm - dynafont emacs -nw --eval "(set-keyboard-coding-system 'latin-9)" This permits me to type the special German characters äöüß as well as the Euro sign (€) while at the same type allowing me to have other people's utf-8 postings correctly displayed and also allowing me to reply to them (from within Gnus) without my replies getting distorted (as to the characters transmitted/displayed). The above mentioned loss of functionality of C-g does NOT happen without using filterm - dynafont! The problems seem to be independent of the "dynafont" filter itself, but are due to konwert (or konwert-filters), in version 1.8.9. My downgrading to version 1.8.3 of konwert and of konwert-filters got rid of the bug. Hope, someone can confirm the bug and, most important of all, fix it.
