Hello,

m-x describe-font gives me a prompt in the modeline:
"Fontname (default, current choice for ASCII chars): "
perhaps this is already strange (because is says ASCII char)?

after pressing return, it gives me
name (opened by):  (the font you have mentioned below)
        full name:       (the same font)
...
relative-compose : 0

> and M-x describe-fontset to check which font or fontset
"Current frame is using font, not fontset"

no different result.
But, I am getting closer!
with 
(standard-display-european 1)
and 
(standard-display-8bit 0 255) 
I can display the ö (o with two dots) an other 'special characters'. But 
now I have an input problem...
I press the key with the ö (o with two dots) and emacs beeps (no output in 
the buffer). Pressing C-h l to see the recent key presses, it displays the 
ö correctly. So it seems that the key is recognized correctly.

Setting the default coding system (C-x RET k) to latin-1 or mac-roman did 
not help:

with mac-roman, it dispays a ^ (hat) instead of the ö. With latin-1 there 
is no output. In both cases the C-h l reports the correct keys.

Copy and paste from the key-caps application works fine.

Setting mac-keybord-text-encoding to kTextEncodingISOLatin1 did not do 
anything that I noticed.

With coding system for keybord input set to mac-roman, the ö for example is 
bound to encoded-kbd-self-insert-ccl.

Any hints for the correct input method?

By the way, I use an iBook with the keybord set to the german 'language' on 
MacOS X
