I guess the default encoding of Emacs is ISO-Latin-1, at least that's what I want to use anyway. How can I input accented characters / German Umlauts, etc.? Actually I think the problem is not the input, but the font: how do I change my (set-face-font 'default "-apple-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-regular-r-normal--13-140-75-75-m-120-mac-roman") to use ISO-Latin-1 encoding instead of mac-roman? The documentation didn't really help me there... (and my tries were worthless)
