Because all the umlauts are not directly shown on machines at the instute, they have the old-stable debian (not etch) running there, at home I have bleeding edge openSUSE. I also got another hint, which was not forwarded to this list, but I think this is just a more deep explanation of what you meant: It should be enough to convert in UTF-8 all =E2=80=9E =E2=80=9C and =E2=80= =9A =E2=80=98 into \g[rl]q[q]{} and to change the line \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} into \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} and then save the file in ISO 8859-15/ISO Latin 9 encoding: C-x RET c iso-8859-15 RET C-x C-s I will test this next week... If this would work, I think I will make a macro (I have the book "Learning GNU Emacs", which is excellent) . Thanks for your help! Greetings, Christian
