What were you trying to do?
I wanted to both import and type text including accented
characters above ASCII 127. I can create a file in xemacs using this
kind of high-bit text, and I wanted to import such a file into
Frame. I also have xmodmap files that let me type high-ASCII
characters directly at the screen.
What's wrong:
Frame doesn't display, nor print, the same characters input or
typed. For instance, whenever I type the letter at ASCII 193, (if
ASCII went that high) Frame displays the character at code 231. If I
import a character 194 from a file, I see the letter for code 235 on
the screen. Frame also prints the incorrect characters. If I print the
file from xemacs *using the same exact font*, everything is fine-- so
I know I'm not pulling up the wrong font.
What should have happened:
I should have gotten the same character I type or that I
imported from xemacs, I should think, just like I do for characters
lower than ASCII 127.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
