Note that the problem I'm trying to solve here is display, not entry. I can enter latin1 chars fine, I just can't see them properly. > (set-language-environment 'German) I tried this too, although I wouldn't want it in general. It made no difference. > (set-frame-font "fontset-mac") Likewise, makes no difference. I wouldn't expect the 'frame-font' to make any difference when running -nw. All latin1 character above octal 240 still display as '?'. Let me summarize again and correct something I said earlier: - These characters display fine in xemacs running in a Terminal or xterm or rxvt. - These characters display fine in gnu emacs running in a Carbon/Aqua window. - These characters display fine in any emacs running as an X11 client. - These characters display fine in a Terminal or xterm or rxvt if simply cat a file. - These characters display as '?' when running gnu emacs (21.1, 21.2 or 21.3) in a Terminal or an xterm or an rxvt. Earlier I said that it worked when running gnu emacs in an xterm. After double-checking that, I see that I was mistaken. So nothing about this problem is specific to the osx Terminal application. The display is wrong in when running gnu emacs in _any_ kind of terminal. Any other suggestions?
