I think it can be done, but I think most of the language environments are just plain wrong. For instance even in a "Croatian" language environment the 'ctext coding system is preferred over iso-8859-2. Ctext is a good choice for latin-1 based systems as it is "backwards compatible" with latin-1. I did some experimenting and I think you should try (set-language-environment "Croatian") (set-coding-category-system 'iso-8-designate 'iso-8859-2) This makes iso-8859-2 the preferred non Japanese coding system. I think you might even prefer setting the coding system priorities to avoid all the Japanese ones. For some reason all the code to do this is commented out. Note that the FSF versions of the language environments do change the coding priorities, but they are now handled centrally. Somehow I have the feeling somebody tried to sync the XEmacs files with the FSF versions but stopped midway. Jan
