What am I doing wrong? Well, with your settings you are editing Latin-1 text but tell Emacs that your terminal displays Latin-9. Emacs doesn't know that it some Latin-1 characters look the same as some Latin-9 characters, so it doesn't think it can display the Latin-1 chars in the Latin-9-displaying terminal. If your language environment would agree with the terminal, then it would work better. FWIW, I just set $LC_CTYPE to de_DE@euro and don't need to change anything else. -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
