Now I'm getting problems with umlauts in my .diary file. I set the month name by loading german-holiday.el: (setq calendar-month-name-array ["Januar" "Februar" "März" "April" "Mai" "Juni" "Juli" "August" "September" "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"]) C-x= on the "ä" in "März" says: character: ä (04344, 2276, 0x8e4) charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100) code point: 100 syntax: word category: l:Latin buffer code: 0x81 0xE4 file code: 0x81 0xE4 (encoded by coding system emacs-mule-dos) font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO8859-1 When I do C-u C-x C-e with point after calendar-month-name-array, I get: ["Januar" "Februar" "März" "April" "Mai" "Juni" "Juli" "August" "September" "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"] C-x= on the "ä" in "März" says: character: ä (07544, 3940, 0xf64) charset: latin-iso8859-15 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 9 (ISO/IEC 8859-15): ISO-IR-203) code point: 100 syntax: word category: l:Latin buffer code: 0x8E 0xE4 file code: 0x8E 0xE4 (encoded by coding system emacs-mule-dos) font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO8859-15 1) Which of the 2 "ä" is the "correct" one for a Linux system? 2) How can I turn all "ä"s in .diary in "correct" äs? 3) How can I tell Emacs: "Take all umlauts and other weird characters in my home directory and make with them whatever you want - but don't ever bother me with this kind of $&%$&$% again"? TIA Thomas PS: The only German month with an umlaut starts next Monday.
