I installed Deli Linux (a Slackware derivate) on an old notebook, together with the emacs_nox package from slackware 7.1 (there is no X on the machine). Umlauts work perfectly in the terminal, vi, and other apps, only Emacs interprets them as 'v', 'd', '|', and so on. I checked the FAQs on the internet, to no avail. Several different ways to edit the .emacs file did not work, including 'set-language-environment', 'set-terminal-coding-system' and 'standard-display-european'. Now I am out of ideas. The following variables are set: LANG=de_DE LC_CTYPE=de_DE LC_ALL=de_DE The stty parameters include -istrip and cs8. Thanks for answers. Tobias
