Investigating, I discovered that my setup of acme is not using normal single quotes or hyphens. Instead of inserting what all other editors insert when I hit my single quote or dash keys, acme is inserting some other (2 byte?) character. I understand unicode but I am American-English. My compiler and spell checker expect single byte, standard ASCII codes for dash and single quotes. I absolutely can't use acme like this. I am using the standard font. Is there a way for me to correct this behavior? Thanks. Blake McBride --089e01183fccb9b7fc04ed823c4d Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
