Re: Very slow startup with UTF-8 locale

[Bjoern]

Hello,

I am just looking for a way to make emacs use utf-8 as the default 
encoding, and found your post. I'm curious about this fr_FR.UTF-8 
sentence, what is it and how is it being used? Might there be a similiar 
thing for german or english language, that would set the 
default-encoding to utf-8?

I couldn't find it in the manual :-(

Many thanks for any help!
