ot: displaying latin1 chars

[Norman Walsh]

Sorry for the off-topic message. I think I learned this trick on ding
years ago and I've misplaced it...

I used to have a couple of lines of elisp in my .emacs file that
mapped the 8-bit latin1 curly-quote characters to straight quotes so
that I didn't see \xxx in my messages.

Can someone remind me of what those couple of lines are?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

Well, `W d' invokes gnus-article-treat-dumbquotes which can be
customized to do this.  But why don't you tell Emacs that you would
like to see Latin-1 characters?  Are they missing from your font?
