* Emacs 23.2.1 Windows Server Enterprise 2007 (German)
character: ü (252, #o374, #xfc)
preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
code point: 0xFC
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, c:Chinese, j:Japanese, l:Latin
buffer code: #xC3 #xBC
file code: #xC3 #xBC (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
uniscribe:-outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x81)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER U DIAERESIS
general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
decomposition: (117 776) ('u' '̈')
There are text properties here:
face font-lock-string-face
fontified t
The Aquamacs output is identical, except for the line that says "uniscribe" on Windows, it says:
nil:-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x81)

And so it seems. The problem can probably be explained by the above the differences in the default coding systems, interesting.
Warm regards,
