#38040: emacs-mac-app and coding system

     Type:  defect             |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal             |  Milestone:
Component:  ports              |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:  utf-8, iso-latin1  |       Port:  emacs-mac-app
-------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I have installed emacs-mac-app @3.92 with


 {{{
 sudo port -s install emacs-mac-app
 }}}


 but perhaps there is a problem with the coding system...

 1) In the attached archive there is a file, la_bibliografia.tex.orig,
 which is shown coded in utf8 with: Aquamacs, emacs-app (Macports) on MAC
 OS X. The same occurs on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora) and GTK
 Emacs, and on Cygwin with GTK Emacs.

 2) Instead with emacs-mac-app (Macports) it is shown coded iso-latin1 ("1"
 in the mode line).

 What is expected and right for me is the case 1): utf-8, "U" in the mode
 line.

 That file contains the (opened) accented character "a" (line 127, column
 14) and I can see this character with "less", "cat" and the Emacs
 distributions as described in 1).

 Anyway, emacs-mac-app shows it as iso-latin1 and as a capital "A" followed
 by an underscore (_), with a tilde (~) over. If I convert it in utf8 by
 means of C-x RET f utf-8 RET, I got the other file, la_bibliografia.tex
 .emacs-mac-app, in the attached archive, and emacs-mac-app shows it coded
 utf8 ("U" in the mode line) but it displays the file with the same result
 for what regards the accented character (a capital A with...) :-(

 emacs-mac-app shows this strange behavior ONLY when I start it with the
 link I find in Launchpad. Instead if I use


 {{{
 $ /Applications/MacPorts/EmacsMac.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &
 }}}

 I got the same results described in 1), i.e. the right utf-8 coding and
 the right displayed accented character...

 Removing .emacs.d or starting from command line adding "-Q" does not
 change the above conclusions.


 Ciao,
  Angelo.
