- I'm having trouble getting lemacs 19.2 to display the graphic characters from
- 8 bit character sets. I have files that contain the characters and they
- show up in the other editors that I have around (including vi :o) but lemacs
- always displays them in octal format.

-
- (setq ctl-arrow 'foo) in your .emacs will do it.
-
- ctl-arrow Documentation:
- *Non-nil means display control chars with uparrow.
- Nil means use backslash and octal digits.
- Non-t and non-nil means display 8-bit characters (that is, characters
- whose code is greater than 160 (SPC with the high bit on) will be
- displayed as a single glyph.)
- Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
- This variable does not apply to characters whose display is specified
- in the current display table (if there is one).
