What were you trying to do?
trying to use foreign characters in my document. I previously
reported a bug that I could not preview documents on a RS6000s, and
was advised to remove the .format and .print commands from my
preference files. I was then able to preview the documents, but
foreign characters no longer appear correctly (they are replaced by
random garbage). The hardcopies also contain garbage. I remember
having this problem a long time ago, and it miraculously disappeared.
I have tried deleting my preferences file (I never changed it so I
assume it was the default file) and starting up ez again, on several
different machines (including a Vax 2000), but this doesn't seem to
fix the problem.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The compose-char function handles all of the foreign character
commands (ctrl-x v, ctrl-x x)
