Well, like so many times before :) I reply to my own post.
The problem seems to be solved!
But it was tricky.
Here are the necessary steps that solved the problem:
1) setting gnome-terminal to use utf-8
AND
2) customizing emacs to produce an entry in .emacs like this:
'(keyboard-coding-system (quote utf-8) nil nil "nil before,
now utf-8."))
AND
3) unfortunately, there was nothing to customize for
terminal-coding-system, therefore I had lots of trouble to find the
correct entry to add to .emacs
Well, I found that this works:
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(thanks to Johan Bockgård, who mentioned this in a post some time
ago)
Now everything displays correctly.
And if my own characters arrive o.k. at the other side, I am happy -
well, for now, at least. :)
Is this an euro sign? €
Are these the Swedish special characters? å ä ö
The German Umlaute? ä ö ü
The German "sharp S"? ß
The Icelandic th-sounds (thorn and eth)? þ ð
The French Accents? é è ê
and French cédille? ç
The Spanish tilde? ñ
An apostrophe? it's an apostrophe
If everything looks all right, please tell me, but otherwise, too.
Regards
Peter
