Thank you very much. X-Face works with this version. That means, my
problem is solved.

What next? Well, ``iso-accents-mode'' seems not to exist no more in
this version. I'll have a look on it.

Cheers,
Rudiger

iso-acc.el has been moved to the lisp/obsolete/ directory (and is not
autoloaded, apparently).

    ** iso-acc.el is now obsolete. Use one of the latin input methods
       instead.

I fiddled around with iso-cvt.el, but anyway I can't figure out the
new concept.

With iso-accents-mode enabled, I could just type `"a' and it was
substituted with `ä' on the fly. That was very convenient, using a
keyboard with English layout to input German characters. 

I can't find something similar in the new functions. `iso-german` just
converts a whole region, but I cant find on-the-fly conversions.

Am I'm missing something? 

In the header of iso-cvt.el there is a reference to the ISO 8859-1
FAQ, but I was not able to pull it from the given ftp address:
ftp.vlsivie.tuwien.ac.at (unknown host)

Cheers,
Rudiger

A compose key? Or, in X11: Mode_switch? Since the DEC vt times the  
keyboards offered to press <compose> " a to create an ä, and  
similarly it worked in X11 ...

Try adding

 (set-input-method 'latin-postfix)

to you .emacs. You can try also with 'german-alt-postfix,
'german-postfix, etc.  "M-x list-input-methods lists" them all. C-\
toggles the current input method on and off.

Hope this helps,

As he's used to type `"a' for `ä', the *-prefix methods
(e.g. latin-prefix or german-prefix) seem to be more suitable.

Bye, Reiner.

Either that, or use "C-u C-\" to set any input method you want.  That
command supports completion, so `?' will pop up a list of available
input methods which you can browse and pick the one you want.

Hey, thank you very much!

(set-input-method 'latin-prefix)

  is exactly what I'm looking for.
