I presume you don't a difference in Brüder and Brüder I see (using ascii-7bits) Br~A1/4der and Br"uder I did your C-u C-x = which tells me: character: à (0303, 195, 0xc3) charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xA0..0xFF)) code point: 195 syntax: whitespace category: buffer code: 0xC3 file code: 0xC3 (encoded by coding system raw-text-unix) font: -Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--18-180-75-75-M-110-ISO8859-1 So indeed it looks like a font problem since emacs uses the iso8859-1 font. I looked in the font list shift down mouse 1 (in the options->mule) but there the coding is not specified. I am on debian, does anybody know whether I have to install a special package for UTF8 fonts? Thanks Uwe Brauer
