Is there an emacs guru amongst the CentOS bretheren who can help me with
the following:
Since upgrading from CentOS 5.10, Emacs 21.4.1 and Gnus v5.9.0 to
CentOS 6.5, Emacs 23.1.1 and Gnus v5.13 HTML emails are now being
renderd in a pretty reasonable way (thanks!), *but*
non-breaking-spaces (nbsp's - UTF8 0xC2, 0xA0) and a few other
"unusual" characters are always displayed (both in my graphical
display and in terminals and PuTTY sessions) as octal bytes
(e.g. \302\240) instead of being renderd as glyphs.
Why?
Is it to do with the locale? That says:
$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF_8
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL
Something in Gnus. Something in emacs? Is it something else?
If I make a file and insert UTF-8 characters using hexl-mode:
C2 A0 0A C2 A3 0A
I see the correct glyphs (nbsp (an underlined cell) and a pound sign)
when I open the file in emacs.
Some clue stick please...
Greetings
Mark
