I tried the dictionaries "german", "german8", "deutsch" and "deutsch8". emacs shows me e.g. Färbe as a correction possibility, so it looks like an encoding problem to me. I use a Suse 9.2 system (utf8) and a self-compiled emacs 21.4.1. However, running aspell in a shell on the same file works well, ispell works in emacs too. What can I do? Thanks Sebastian
