Do you see some other chars than what you expect, or do you see empty squares? If you see empty squares (i.e. chars for which Emacs can't find a font), place point on one of them and then do C-u C-x = which will tell you what this char is. > I tried to play around with the language setting but now the coding > remains broken, that is I see symbols like Brüder which should be > displayed like Brüder but it is not. If UTF-8 is not auto-detected, try (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8). Or if you don't want utf-8 to be your default and you know the the general shape of the names of your wikipedia files, you can play with file-coding-system-alist. Stefan
