latin-to-user-font(3)

NAME

latin-to-user-font - Convert buffer from Latin to user font
user-to-latin-font - Convert buffer from user to Latin font

SYNOPSIS

latin-to-user-font
user-to-latin-font

DESCRIPTION

latin-to-user-font converts the current buffer, assumed to be in ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) font format, to the current user's display font, this typically corrects any foreign language display problems.

Conversely, user-to-latin-font converts the current buffer from the user's display font to ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1), this is typically used for the transfer of text files between different systems.

The current display font is usually configured using the user-setup(3) dialog (see Display Font Set). This in turn uses the command set-char-mask(2) to create the low level character conversion tables.

NOTES

latin-to-user-font and user-to-latin-font are macros defined in langutl.emf.
