When I use 'ls -lw' to display the file names in xterm, I get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 62 25 Mär 2005 áÛïǓà.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 62 25 Mär 2005 äÖüÄöÜ.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 107 2 Dez 2004 äöüßÜÖÄ€
Doing the same in Emacs' *shell* buffer I get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 62 25 Mär 2005 áÛïǓà.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 62 25 Mär 2005 äÖüÄöÜ.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 107 2 Dez 2004 äöüßÜÖÄ€
Doing in Emacs' *shell* buffer 'ls -l' I get of course some nonsense.
In
dired-mode I see as in *shell* only:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 62 25 Mär 2005 áÛïǓà.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 62 25 Mär 2005 äÖüÄöÜ.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pete pete 107 2 Dez 2004 äöüßÜÖÄ€
So GNU Emacs can't display the file names correctly any more!
Please, whenever a problem like that shows up, it's extremely helpful
to say
if this problem is new and if so when (as precisely as possible)
it appeared.
