There are several ways to install Emacs on your Windows 10 computer. This file contains a bit build of Emacs with dependencies as an installer package. Download this file and run the program to install Emacs on your system. You can run Emacs like any other Windows software. Open Powershell in administrator mode and enter this line:. The Flyspell package performs spell checking on Emacs.

You can try set-selection-coding-system , but generally such corruption is a thing of the past, as Emacs uses Unicode for the clipboard by default now. You can use the function set-message-beep to change the sound that Emacs uses for its beep.
This affects both console and GUI frames. The doc string contains a list of the system sounds you can use. Former maintainer Andrew Innes wrote this explanation of what each field in the font string means and how Emacs treated them back in Since then, multilingual support and a redisplay overhaul to support variable width fonts have changed things slightly; more character sets are recognized and the old pseudo character sets are deprecated , and the resolution fields are used to calculate the difference between point and pixel sizes, but normally you should leave these at the system default.
The foundry field is also populated with an indication of whether the font is outline. ATM or raster. FON based when fonts are listed, which may let you differentiate between two fonts with the same name and different technologies. Starting with Emacs 23, the preferred font name format will be moving to the simpler and more flexible fontconfig format. XLFD names will continue to be supported for backward compatibility. The command line options and frame-parameters for changing the default font in Emacs are documented in the manual.
Fonts can also be used when defining faces, though family and size are generally specified individually there. In addition, Emacs on Windows reads the registry to find X Resources.
This is also documented in the manual. Emacs will only use the italic and bold versions of a font automatically if it has the same width as the normal version. Many fonts have italic and bold versions that are slightly wider. It will also only use real bold and italic fonts by default, where other applications may use synthesized variations that are derived from the normal font. To enable more italic and bold fonts to be displayed, you can enable synthesized fonts and manually set the font for italic, bold and bold-italic as follows:.
The wenable-synthesized-fonts variable is obsolete starting from Emacs See How do I use bdf fonts with Emacs? For many languages, native truetype fonts are sufficient, and in Emacs 23 the need for BDF fonts will disappear for almost all languages. At the time of writing, all supported characters are able to be displayed with appropriate truetype or opentype fonts. Recent versions of Emacs display a large range of characters out of the box, but if you are having problems with a particular character set which you know you have fonts for, you can try defining a new fontset with create-fontset-from-ascii-font or create-fontset-from-fontset-spec.
The GNU Unifont project contains glyphs for most of the Unicode codespace, and can be downloaded from ftp. You probably only need to do this on the non-Unicode versions of Windows 95, 98 and ME , and even then, various Windows and Internet Explorer updates have made third party software unnecessary in most cases. If you are having trouble displaying text, try defining a fontset with the font for the languages that the third party software handles set to what that software expects which may not be an appropriate font for that language, but the third party software is intercepting it and using a different font behind the scenes.
See Non-latin display. Normally Emacs should initialize locale-coding-system appropriately based on your locale, which will let Emacs use font names in your local language successfully. Up: Font menu [ Contents ][ Index ]. If you have set wuse-wfont-dialog to nil , you can add fonts to the font menu by changing wfixed-font-alist. For example:. For a discussion of this issue, take a look at this collection of email messages on the topic.
For existing files, Emacs scans the file to determine the line ending convention as part of the same scan it does to determine the file encoding. It does this to be safe, as no data loss will occur if the file is really binary and the Ctrl-M characters are significant. The list can be manipulated with the functions add-untranslated-filesystem and remove-untranslated-filesystem. With auto-detection in recent versions of Emacs, this is seldom useful for existing files, but can still be used to influence the choice of line ends for newly created files.
A lot of effort has gone into making it easier to print from Emacs on MS Windows, but this has still been insufficient to keep up with changes in printing technology from text and postscript based printers connected via ports that can be accessed directly, to graphical printers that are only accessible via USB.
The quoting rules for native Windows shells and Cygwin shells have some subtle differences. When Emacs spawns subprocesses, it tries to determine whether the process is a Cygwin program and changes its quoting mechanism appropriately. Programs that explicitly use a handle to the console CON or CON: instead of stdin and stdout cannot be used as subprocesses to Emacs, and they will also not work in shell-mode.
The default ftp client on Windows is an example of such a program - this ftp program is mostly fine for use with ange-ftp or tramp , but not for M-x ftp see How do I use FTP within Emacs.
There is no convenient way for either Emacs or any shell used in shell-mode to redirect the input and output of such processes from the console to input and output pipes. The only workaround is to use a different implementation of the program that does not use the console directly. You may notice that some programs, when run in a shell in shell-mode , have their output buffered e.
The same can happen in other subprocesses that themselves run other programs as subprocesses, for example when using cvs from Emacs, which is itself configured to use ssh , password prompts fail to appear when expected, and cvs appears to hang. Although it may at first seem like the shell is buffering the output from the program, it is actually the program that is buffering output.
The C runtime typically decides how to buffer output based upon whether stdout is bound to a handle to a console window or not. If bound to a console window, output is buffered line by line; if bound to a block device, such as a file, output is buffered block by block. In a shell buffer, stdout is a pipe handle and so is buffered in blocks. If you would like the buffering behavior of your program to behave differently, the program itself is going to have to be changed; you can use setbuf and setvbuf to manipulate the buffering semantics.
Some programs handle this by having an explicit flag to control their buffering behavior, typically -i for interactive, or by a special environment variable. Up: Subprocess buffering [ Contents ][ Index ]. If you are finding the 16 bit DOS subprocesses cause your A: drive to be accessed, hanging Emacs until the read times out if there is no floppy in the drive, check to see if your virus software is causing the problem.
Emacs cannot guarantee that a subprocess gets killed on Windows 95 and its descendants, and it is a difficult limitation to work around. To avoid problems on these systems, you should let subprocesses run to completion including explicitly exiting shells before killing the associated buffer.
If you find that while shutting down, Windows complains that there is a running cmdproxy. When an EOF is sent to a subprocess running in an interactive shell with process-send-eof , the shell terminates unexpectedly as if its input was closed. This affects the use of C-c C-d in shell buffers. See this discussion for more details. You can start an interactive shell in Emacs by typing M-x shell. By default, this will start the standard Windows shell cmd.
To instruct Emacs to use a non-default shell, you can either set this environment variable, or customize explicit-shell-file-name. You can also customize shell-file-name to change the shell that will be used by subprocesses that are started with shell-command and related non-interactive shell commands. Up: Using shell [ Contents ][ Index ]. Cygwin bash is a popular shell for use with Emacs.
To use bash as the default shell in Emacs, you can place the following in your init file:. If you clear the PID variable in your init file, you should be able to continue to use bash as your subshell:. The package cygwin-mount. Dired uses an internal lisp implementation of ls by default on Windows. For consistent display of symbolic links and other information with other programs eg Cygwin and performance reasons, you may want to use a Windows port of ls instead.
Some shells echo the commands that you send to them, and the echoed commands appear in the output buffer. In particular, the default shells, command. The comint package will use the value of this variable as an argument to cmd.
EXE-args instead. The character appended to directory names when completing in a shell buffer is controlled by the variable comint-completion-addsuffix. See its documentation with C-h v for details. This might happen if, for example, you invoke nmake in a shell and it tries to create sub-shells. The problem happens because when the shell is initially created, the first argument to the shell is not the directory in which the shell program resides.
When this happens, command. The fix for this is to either prevent any arguments from being sent to the shell when it starts up in which case command. Some anti-virus software has been reported to cause problems with shells in the past. See What known problems are there with anti-virus software?
Emacs comes with several options for reading and writing mail. These are documented in the manual, and the choice of which method to use depends on personal taste. There are some issues specific to Windows however, related to the fact that Windows machines do not have the mail infrastructure that is commonly installed on other platforms, so mail will not work without some configuration.
For outgoing mail, you will need to use smtpmail. This is included with Emacs, and can be set up as follows:. If you are experiencing problems with sending large messages, check the value of the variable smtpmail-debug-info.
If it is non- nil , you should set it to nil :. For incoming mail using the Rmail package and a POP3 server, you will need the following configuration:. Although Gnus started life as a Usenet news reader, it also makes a good mail reader, particularly if you subscribe to a lot of mailing lists, or you want to use IMAP rather than POP3, which is not supported by Rmail.
See The Gnus manual in The Gnus manual. MH-E is included with Emacs. The others require lisp or executable code that does not come with Emacs, so you should seek help where you obtained the packages from if you want to use them. In your HOME directory create a file called. Warning: Associating MIME types with start or other generic Windows commands to open arbitrary files might seem like a good idea, but it leaves your system as open to attack as Outlook Express was at its worst.
