Maybe i�m wrong, but i thought that my config file was right. I am copying a snipplet of my config file into this mail, the configuration is like this: locale: de_DE lang_dir: /usr/local/htdig/common/german bad_word_list: /usr/local/htdig/common/german/bad_words endings_affix_file: /usr/local/htdig/common/german/german.aff endings_dictionary: /usr/local/htdig/common/german/german.0 endings_root2word_db: /usr/local/htdig/common/german/root2word.db endings_word2root_db: /usr/local/htdig/common/german/word2root.db You can surely assume that /usr/local/htdig is the installtion directory, so everythink should be set up correctly. The locals are installed in /usr/share/locale and de_DE ist among them. Maybe its another problem altogether, since the special chars are displayed in the excerpt of the matches.
