Since two days I have a strange problem: All my Pages documents open
with an encoding, which shows strange characters for specific characters of the German language (those vocals which are written with a double dot
above it, called "Umlaut"). The characters shown are the sort of
inversed "R", "f" a.s.f.

it sounds like the default font may have changed, switching from a font with Unicode code points to some other encoding, or the reverse; this would appear similar to using a different text encoding; what have you changed since these documents last opened correctly? what is the font the text is using?


No change in fonts or other settings had been done.
The font is and was Tahoma. There's no change of fonts. All fonts are ok. Changing the font in the document does not cure the problem... Typing the "Umlauts" in the document produces again the wrong characters... It must be amatter of text encoding, but neither Bean, Appleworks (original document creator) nor pages let me change textencodings. In the pref panel for keyboard layouts, there are three layouts activated (German, Swiss German, Swiss French), all three being of latin type. This had been so since ever... Thus my question: is there somewhere a (maybe hidden) general preference to change the textencoding
