The Carbon variant is Mac Roman. It accept the umlauts and other 8 bit=20= characters from your keyboard. You could try some of these: (setq process-connection-type t) (require 'site-fontsets-carbon) ;(setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) (set-language-environment 'German) (setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-unix) (set-default-coding-systems 'mac-roman-unix) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman) (prefer-coding-system 'mac-roman-unix) (global-set-key [kp-delete] 'delete-char) (set-default-coding-systems 'iso-latin-9-unix) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'iso-latin-9) (prefer-coding-system 'iso-latin-9-unix) (setq mac-transparency-alpha 80) (setq initial-frame-alist '( (mouse-color .
