No, they are not: the "default" Emacs is GNU Emacs 22.1.1, Aquamacs is GNU Emacs 22.1.91.2. But I have that issue with *any* Emacs built for Mac OS X that is out there for OS X 10.4/10.5. > You could launch Aquamacs Emacs in Terminal, too: > > /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs -nw Here, typing ü yields to ?? >> Then, I remembered that some time ago, I had the same issue within >> Terminal where typing "rü" didn't autocomplete the file name. > > File a bug report at apple: > https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa I did that.

But hey: this is the year 2008, Emacs 22.x and Mac OS X 10.5 ...
