Say, I start a fresh emacs --no-init-file. Then I load a file that contains some german umlaute (iso-8859-1). Then I do M-: (standard-display-default 128 255) RET When I do all this with emacs 21.2.1 I see the octal sequences as expected. When I do all this with emacs 21.3.1 or CVS emacs, the umlaute are still displayed as umlaute. Roland
