Re: Umlauted characters with term

    M-x term <ret>

    and after that typing say a umlaut or o umlaut

Precisely how do you enter them?  What keys do you type?
Are you using an Emacs input method?  If so, which?

I'm entering them directly from my keyboard. The Finnish layout
is more or less what is shown in the following image:

and the umlauted characters are just right from l. I have the trouble
in char mode and switching to line mode with C-c C-j helps. I have
no other problems with these umlauted characters; I can type them
in nicely from the keyboard both when running Emacs under a terminal
or as an X application. If in char mode I type in C-c M-x
eval-expression <ret> (term-send-raw-string "ä") then the umlauted
a (which the letter between double quotes is supposed to be) gets
sent to the running process and shows up in terminal. Here's a copy
of my .emacs:

(defvar running-xemacs nil)

(setq viper-mode t)
(require 'viper)
(require 'tex-site)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)

(if running-xemacs
(let ((i (current-input-mode)))
  (case (caddr i)
    ((t nil) (set-input-mode (car i) (cadr i) '8-bit-clean-dammit))))

  (progn
    (set-language-environment "latin-1")
    (set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
                    (nth 1 (current-input-mode))
                    0)
    (set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1)
  )
)

Does it help to say "C-x RET k latin-1 RET"?

    is more or less what is shown in the following image:

I cannot test that myself--can anyone else try to reproduce this bug?

It seems that adding (set-keyboard-coding-system 'latin-1) to .emacs
helps. (I already had (set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1) in my .emacs)
Thanks to Eli Zaretskii.
