After I turned it off, I could type in non-ASCII chars just fine, provided I set the keyboard-coding-system to utf-8. > in *Monitor* set > Lucida Sans Typewriter Regular (a font from the Java Runtime Environment) > anti-aliasing > Copy&Paste with moving/dragging > UTF-8 encoding The utf-8 encoding is the default and it's best not to change it. And the other three options are just real preferences which have no impact on the correct functioning of Emacs AFAICT. OTOH, another option that's relevant here is the "large glyph (CJK)" option which was the cause of my \lambda taking 2 columns. I disabled it and now my \lambdas work perfectly. > in *Keyboard* /not/ set > alt/Option/=E2=8C=A5 as Meta/=EF=A3=BF/Command/=E2=8C=98 In French this is called "Option as a virtual key". Now, where can we put this info so that users will find it? Stefan
