My emacs version is 21.4, my language environment is UTF-8, and in plain emacs cyrillics work just fine. When I invoke emacs using "emacspeak" command, all non-latin characters turn into umlauts. The funny thing is that even on gnu.org site (I use w3m) some unicode symbols (like quotation marks) turn into umlauts. I have a suspicion that the problem is in emacspeaks' inability to work with multibyte characters but I'm not sure because of my poor understanding of emacs' character coding internals. I'm really only a occasional user of emacspeak, but nevertheless I'd be glad to know if there is a way to overcome the problem. For now it would be Ok if cyrillics are displayed properly even if they are not read aloud at all or are mistakenly read as umlauts.
