I'm sorry I still cannot repeat the problem.  This is what I did.  I
saved your post in a file.  It contains the letters (in Latin 1
encoding)

  æ ø å Æ Å Ø

which are the letters next to `L' and `P' on the Norwegian keyboard.  I
then run the May 2 version of Emacs from CVS from command line as
follows (the specific path is just where it is on my machine).

  Documents/Emacs/emacs/mac/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -q

Visited the saved file.  The letters show up fine.  Then I evaluate the
expression

  (set-default-font "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-iso8859-1")

Those letters are still displayed correctly (they're in 14-point fixed
now).

Then I evaluate

  (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman")

and then

  (set-frame-font "fontset-monaco")

Those letters are still displayed correctly (they're in 9-point
Monaco now).

Could you please repeat these steps and see if you get the same
results?  Please use a recent CVS version.

Also this question may be more suitable elsewhere, like gnu.emacs.help.
