Maybe my terminology is wrong.  But if you start mintty with no .minttyrc
and with LANG unset, mintty will set LANG=C.UTF-8.


Yep. That's primarily for emacs' benefit, which parses the locale env
variables itself instead of using setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""), thereby
missing out on Cygwin's default locale.

Andy,

I've sent a report about this to the emacs-devel list (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-11/threads.html#01216). But I don't have a good understanding of locale issues. Could you take a look and see if what I said is accurate or if more should be said?

Thanks.

Ken
