Anyway, I'm experiencing a strange problem with German umlauts while setting the default font with the following lines in my ~/.emacs (set-frame-parameter nil 'font-backend '(xft)) (set-frame-font "Terminus-12") So, the umlauts ä, ö, ü work with the default font, but see the following screenshot http://student.physik.uni-mainz.de/~aneiser/emacs.png It seems that emacs displays umlauts always in the default font and some special font selections (I guess this is what auctex does) are not handled? There was also the problem when selecting the default font from the Menu Options->Set default font. In this case the font was changed but the font for the umlauts did not... Seems strange to me. If anyone has some suggestions in debugging this further, misses some information or has some fix, feel free to tell me :) I use the CVS version from 20090319, hope this is recent enough. Thanks for an answer Andreas
