I presume you don't a difference in 
Brüder and Brüder 
I see (using ascii-7bits)
Br~A1/4der and Br"uder

I did your C-u C-x = which tells me:


character: Ã (0303, 195, 0xc3)
    charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xA0..0xFF))
 code point: 195
     syntax: whitespace
   category:
buffer code: 0xC3
  file code: 0xC3 (encoded by coding system raw-text-unix)
       font:
       -Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--18-180-75-75-M-110-ISO8859-1

So indeed it looks like a font problem since emacs uses the iso8859-1
font.


I looked in the font list shift down mouse 1 (in the options->mule)
but there the coding is not specified. I am on debian, does anybody
know whether I have to install a special package for UTF8 fonts?

Thanks
