I am using emacs-23.1 build directly from the sources. When i start emacs -nw or emacs i can use umlauts. As far as i can tell this is due to the environment variables (It works since i have set LC_ALL) but if i start the emacs server with emacs --daemon and use the emacsclient with emacsclient /tmp/x in an x terminal I can not use umlauts on the emacs frame on this terminal. I have reproduced this behavior on redhat and openbsd so i do think that this is not connected to the installed system. But if i start the server from an emacs instance running outside an terminal (X11) i can use umlauts if i use emacsclient /tmp/x (on the grafical emacs instance) and if i use emacsclient -nw /tmp/x on the terminal Can please someone outline the difference of the server start from the commandline and from inside an running emacs instance? I would love to use emacsclient as my editor and to let it start the server as needed with the ALTERNATE_EDITOR=3D"" setting. Can someone tell= me how to do this? Thank you very much in advance Tramp
