Thanks very much for the response. Yes, from the Mac OS X terminal I get LC_ALL=el_GR.UTF-8. > The function set-language-environment should better be avoided with > modern Emacsen, at least with Unicode Emacsen like Emacs.app. It's > more of an auxiliary function for 8 bit Emacsen.

So I went to Options > Mule > Set Language Environment > UTF-8. You mention about LC_CTYPE; LC_CTYPE (as LC_ALL) is defined in my .profile file (both to el_GR.UTF-8). Still, before making the aforementioned setting in Mule menu, the non-latin characters appeared garbled. Trying to reproduce the garbling of the characters in my file, reverting the setting Mule > Set Language Environment > Default, I can't seem to reproduce it; all the characters appear correctly. I don't know what to assume… Nevertheless, I changed once again the file path, so as one of the directories in it be with greek letters, I open again the file, and upon trying to save it, Emacs.app crashes and disappears. Then I change the path to all latin letters, and no crash occurs when I 'm saving the file. As I mentioned in my previous message, this isn't a very big problem for me, as long as I 've found some way to avoid this crash. I reported it in case it is something really worth fixing.
