Please add doc for how to make fish work in mistty in Android emacs (solution provided)

Open johanwiden opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

When using mistty in Android emacs, I got garbage chars when using e.g. fish or nushell, but no garbage chars when using bash. It turned out that this was a config problem with emacs builtin term. By default term does not use unicode for output. I found the fix for this here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6820051/unicode-characters-in-emacs-term-mode (add-hook 'term-exec-hook (function (lambda () (set-buffer-process-coding-system 'utf-8-unix 'utf-8-unix)))) Can you add a tip about this to the documentation? It took me quite a long time to realize what the problem was.

Thank you! I'll do that.

I wonder whether something like this could be safely added to the code, so it works on Android without extra configuration.

Great! Yes, one could define a variable in the mistty user interface, default nil, that when set to t will call add-hook for term-exec-hook.
