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.
I could not find a preference to correct the text encoding.
Any ideas?

Good -- next step is to clear caches using atsutil, as in
<http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html>.
Many people have font issues with Adobe apps
and OpenType PostScript fonts after the most recent SL 10.6.7 update,
but my impression is that the problem did not affect Apple fonts.
<http://db.tidbits.com/article/12078> has the complete story.
Already done. All caches cleared, including ALL font caches.
Tahoma and Times new roman, for example, are fonts furnished by Apple.
I have, since ever, thrown most of the fonts in local library away,
keeping only about 5 of them (all Apple furnished fonts), and I do not
have fonts in ~library/fonts. Also, I do not use Adobe products, I do
not have opentype fonts, and I'm running 10.5.8 on a MacMini Intel.
I then created a completely new user, but the problem there is the same.
I then booted from an external partition with a brand new Leopard
(10.5.8), and the document shows up correctly (to say: there is NO
problem).
I therefore guess, it is a general textencoding problem, not one of
the user, which must be somewhere in the local preferences or even in
the system preferences.
Thus again my question: is there a (maybe hidden) preferences for text
encodings.
