Hi, I am using an elisp insert statement to put text into a newly generated buffer, this text contains a German Umlaut. The text is displayed correctly in my .emacs-file, I also have a (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) statement. With Emacs 23.2 (Windows) the Umlaut is not displayed correctly (in the newly generated buffer), with Aquamacs 2.0 it works just fine. With both Emacsen, the .emacs-file yields "utf-8-unix" in the modeline and "utf-8" for the newly created buffer. Is this a bug or is it a coincidence that this works in Aquamacs? Many thanks in advance. Warm regards, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.
