Hello I am not sure who is the culprit. Here is the scenario: I use Xemacs 21.5.34 Mule -vanilla And GNU emacs 24.5 or 25.0.50 -Q I open with Xemacs a latex file, using auctex, modify it, save it using UTF8 encoding. GNU emacs does not display this file correctly. I screenshot is attached. The other way around it works, also latin-1 is not a problem. Any comments? Uwe Brauer
