It's a pity that I am using hardware on which only Mac OS X, a BSD  
variant, runs, so that I can't test whether this could ease your  
situation: you can add environment variables from your init file, for  
example:

	(setenv "INFOPATH" (concat "/Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app/ 
Contents/Resources/site-lisp/edit-modes/info" ":" (getenv "INFOPATH")))

You can also restrict parts of your init file to be valid only for  
this or that system type (or better system-configuration or system- 
name?). IMO set-language-environment should not be used in a non-7 or  
non-8 bit environment.

Both are OK. C3 A4 is the UTF-8 representation of ä.


Which of your two systems shows this behaviour? Are you able to  
compile GNU Emacs 23.0.93 from CVS? It's more of an Unicode Emacs  
than all Emacsen before.
