Hi,

I am using a Debian Linux system at home and for a while I have been  
struggling with a major annoyance. Namely, when writing any Finnish  
text (or Swedish text for that matter), I am in need to produce the  
letter 'ä'. However, when I press the key 'ä' what appears on my GNU- 
Emacs screen running in an X-window is 'ae'. Now this sounds to me  
like mapping non-US characters to US replacements. But at the same  
time the rest of the scandinavian alphabets are produced properly,  
i.e. I get 'åöÅÄÖ' properly to the screen. Only the lower case 'ä' is  
behaving in a strange way.

Unfortunately I can not tell exactly when this strange behaviour  
started, but I have never seen it before during the 15+ years of  
ahppily using GNU-Emacs. The version of Emacs I am running right now  
is 23.1.1.

My guess is something is misconfigured during an upgrade, I just do  
not know what. Any clues are highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Petri
