This could be a problem with fonts, fontsets, and environment  
variables, particularly LC_CTYPE (LANG might be useful too).

In X11 it might be helpful to have some Unicode encoded TrueType  
fonts, Bitstream Vera for example, Lucida from Java, the free MS  
fonts for the web (containing Courier, http:// 
corefonts.sourceforge.net/), or others (http://www.alanwood.net/ 
unicode/fonts.html, http://www-cgrl.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/ 
fontsoftware.html, ...) available, and used! I create from these  
fontsets (some examples were posted in this list, you'll find them in  
the archive, this and last year) and use only them, as in:

         (require 'site-fontsets-x11)
         (modify-coding-system-alist 'process "\\*shell\\*\\'" 'utf-8- 
unix)
         (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.tex\\'" 'iso-latin-9)
         (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
         (prefer-coding-system                   'utf-8-unix)
         (setq initial-frame-alist '(
           (border-color     . "#4e3832")
           (foreground-color . "grey10")
           (background-color . "PaleTurquoise1")
           (active-alpha     . 0.875)
           (inactive-alpha   . 0.75)
           (font . "fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter")
           (top . 5) (left . 500) (width . 106) (height . 50))
         )
         (setq default-frame-alist '(
           (background-color     . "LightCyan1")
           (cursor-color         . "purple")
           (cursor-type          . box)
           (foreground-color     . "grey10")
           (vertical-scroll-bars . left)
           (active-alpha         . 0.875)
           (inactive-alpha       . 0.75)
           (font . "fontset-11pt_adobe_courier")
           (top . 25) (left . 50) (width . 89) (height . 50))
         )

Most coding system issues are correctly set via LC_CTYPE, which in my  
case is de_DE.UTF-8.
