Well, I didn't find anything that seems to be directly involved with
this unibyte mode stuff, /but/ while searching around I found the
rather harmless sounding function "standard-display-european", that I
inserted im my .emacs some time ago (must be long long ago), because
it fixed the display of german umlauts. The function doc says:
,----
| Enabling European character display with this command noninteractively
| from Lisp code also selects Latin-1 as the language environment, and
| selects unibyte mode for all Emacs buffers (both existing buffers and
| those created subsequently). This provides increased compatibility
| for users who call this function in `.emacs'.
`----
After switchin this off, everything now works absolutely perfect.
Umlauts are displayed correctly in latin-1 and utf-8 files and the
encoding is displayed in the lower left corner of emacs.
Thanks to you all for helping me to clear this issue!
PS: I promise I will start emacs with "emacs --no-init-file" when
registering strange things like these from now on! I promise I will
start emacs with "emacs --no-init-file" when registering strange
things like these from now on! I promise I will start emacs with
"emacs --no-init-file" when registering strange things like these from
now on! ...
