Subject: A dos character problem
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 16:11:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3ps685pqh.fsf@fox.lamasti.net> (raw)

With all versions I've tried of Dosemu, I have problem with some
special characters. Now, I also tried the current svn version with the
same result.

I'm a Norwegian using charset iso8859-1 and no-latin1 keyboard layout
on a Fedora core 6 system, and without GUI. The relevant settings in
dosemu.conf that's changed, is:

$_rawkeyboard = (1)
$_internal_char_set = "cp850"

One dos program I have, produces a text file with a character that's
displayed as a '?' sign in a dos editor such as WordPerfect's ed.exe.
If I open the file in Emacs from the Linux console, and use the
command 'describe-character-after', I get the following information
about that character:

    Character : ³ (0263, 179, 0xb3
    charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xa0..0xff))
    code point: 179
    syntax: whitespace
    category:
    buffer code: 0xb3
    file code: 0xb3 (encoded by coding system raw-text-dos)
    terminal code: not encodable

My question is short: How can I fix this?

Best regards,
Lars
