Hello,

I changed my .Xdefaults to include the following two lines:

> XTerm*font:               
> -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1
> XTerm*utf8:               true

The font looks quite nice! (Thanks for that.) But unfortunately
umlauts are still not working, problems are still the same as in my
original e-mail.

Regards,
Alexander Foremny
