(while I'm sure that there are even less UTF-8 speakers than there are esperanto speakers). Anyway, choosing "German" from the list makes the info screen showing "German" as language environment, but nothing else changes. locale says: ,---- | monsorno@mmdev ~ $ locale | LANG=de_DE.utf8 | LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8" | LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8" | LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8" | LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8" | LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8" | LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8" | LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8" | LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8" | LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8" | LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8" | LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8" | LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8" | LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 `---- I played around with de_DE.UTF-8, posix and leaving the value blank (LANG and LC_ALL): no difference! Emacs always prints the same info about multibyte character awareness and language environment. It seems to me my emacs installation is /not/ capable of handling multibyte characters, right? So what to do? -- Martin
