Hello,

i have got the carbon version of emacs21 to run. But the german 
umlauts (for example an u with two dots on top) are displayed as 
a rectangle. When I display the "HELLO" file (C-h h), in the 
line "German (Deutsch Süd)" the right part of the line is 
"GrXX Gott" where X is an empty rectangle. 

Does anyone know how to display the "special characters"?



Viele Grüße,

Hi Patrick,

Actually it should display them by default.  Could you use M-x
describe-font and M-x describe-fontset to check which font or fontset
you're using for display.  There is plenty of documentation on
international characters in the on-line manual.  Also, please try
typing

  M-x set-frame-font RET fontset-mac RET

or

  M-x set-frame-font RET -apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman

and see if that works.

Andrew.
