Documentation

Set up Latin-1/ASCII display for ISO8859 character sets.

This is done for each character set in the list latin1-display-sets, if no font is available to display it. Characters are displayed using the corresponding Latin-1 characters where they match. Otherwise ASCII sequences are used, mostly following the Latin prefix input methods. Some different ASCII sequences are used if latin1-display-mnemonic is non-nil.

This option also treats some characters in the mule-unicode-... charsets if you don't have a Unicode font with which to display them.

Setting this variable directly does not take effect; use either M-x customize (customize) or the command latin1-display(var)/latin1-display(fun).

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 21.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.1.
