I think this is working as it's supposed t. The "German" environment is apparently defined as follows: ("German" (documentation . "This language environment is almost the same as Latin-1= ,\nbut sets the default input method to \"german-postfix\".\nAdditionally, = it selects the German tutorial.") (sample-text . "German (Deutsch Nord) Guten Tag\nGerman (Deutsch S=C3=BCd= ) Gr=C3=BC=C3=9F Gott") (unibyte-display . iso-latin-1) (input-method . "german-postfix") (nonascii-translation . iso-8859-1) (coding-priority iso-latin-1) (coding-system iso-latin-1 iso-latin-9) (charset iso-8859-1) (tutorial . "TUTORIAL.de")) So while it may be surprising in this day and age that that's what this does, I don't think the definition can be changed (because that'd break the setup of people who rely on "German" to be iso-8859-1). --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
