Hi everyone,
when I run emacs from within X, I suddenly now get the following
message:
-----------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ emacs .muttrc
No fonts match `-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15'
-----------
this seems especially wierd since my locale is set to en_US, which
uses iso8859-1. This error does not occur when I run emacs from a
terminal, or when I run 'emacs -nw' to force text mode.
I have been messing with my locales a bit lately, but I made sure to
dpkg-reconfigure locales, and to set everything back to en_US. Also I
have been experimenting for the first time with using emacs in server
mode, but commenting out '(server-start)' from my .emacs had no effect
on emacs' behaviour.
any ideas out there? thanks,
It seems to me that it is easy to muck-up the locale--I've done it repeatedly ;-\
From what I can tell, the default system environment is set in /etc/environment (LANG=C, etc.).
I 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'ed my root and user account into en_US.UTF-8, but was not completely satisfied with the output from some programs--mis-represented characters are not that enlightening ;-)
So I changed the system environment back to C. As root, '# locale' gives me all "=C", but, for my basic user account, '$ locale' still gives me "LC_*=en_US.UTF-8".
I added an 'export LANG="C"' and 'export LC_ALL="C"' to my ~/.bash_profile to no noticeable effect. Not that anything is particularly wrong, but that I too find it strange that my input is seemingly not accepted.
