Yes, existing text is displayed correctly, and the problem is with
typing French characters.

The result of the eval is: utf-8-unix

I have this in .emacs:

Well, this is embarrassing.  It seems that I just had to recenter the

How? M-x ps-print has no completition available.

C-u M-x ps-print

see C-h f ps-print

Binding M-n in info mode.

Hi folks,

I want to bind M-p/M-n globally to
backward-paragraph/forward-paragraph, so that I wrote this in my
.emacs:

  (define-key global-map "\M-p" 'backward-paragraph)
  (define-key global-map "\M-n" 'forward-paragraph)

It worked right, but then I realized that info mode binds M-n to
clone-buffer.  In this mode I also want to bind M-n to
forward-paragraph, so that I added this:

  (define-key Info-mode-map "\M-n" 'forward-paragraph)

The problem is that this last remapping fails when starting my Emacs
because, at that time, the variable Info-mode-map doesn't not exits.

What is the right way of solving this?

TIA

Do `(require 'info)' before you remap.

Solved.  Thank you Eli.

Cool idea! ;)

You could either do it Eli's way or "my" way:

(eval-after-load "info"
   '(define-key Info-mode-map (kbd "M-n") 'forward-paragraph))

I'm not sure which is "better".
