font or face problem in emacs
Hello,
When I compile a program in emacs, I notice that I get some strange
escape sequences in the compiler output window of emacs. For example, if
my program is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
#include<iostream>
int main(){
int i,j;
std::cout << "Hellow Wrold!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
and I compile it with:
g++ -Wall -ansi -o testprog testprog.cc
I get the following in my emacs compiler message window (notice the
strange characters around the variables and function names):
----------------------------------------------------------------
g++ -Wall -ansi -o testprog testprog.cc
testprog.cc: In function âint main()â:
testprog.cc:6: warning: unused variable âiâ
testprog.cc:6: warning: unused variable âjâ
Compilation finished at Thu Jun 29 15:01:30
----------------------------------------------------------------
The strange characters around a variable are(I have typed the
backslashes and numbers so that they are displayed properly here):
on left hand side: â\200\230
on right hand side: â\200\231
I guess this has something to do with the face of those strings in the
compiler output in emacs. And that I may not have proper fonts
installed. Am I on the right track? All inputs are welcome in solving
this little problem.
BTW, this started happening only after I reintalled Debian Etch a few
weeks ago.
I have:
> dpkg -l *emacs* | grep ^ii
