Well, I didn't find anything that seems to be directly involved with this unibyte mode stuff, /but/ while searching around I found the rather harmless sounding function "standard-display-european", that I inserted im my .emacs some time ago (must be long long ago), because it fixed the display of german umlauts. The function doc says: ,---- | Enabling European character display with this command noninteractively | from Lisp code also selects Latin-1 as the language environment, and | selects unibyte mode for all Emacs buffers (both existing buffers and | those created subsequently). This provides increased compatibility | for users who call this function in `.emacs'. `---- After switchin this off, everything now works absolutely perfect. Umlauts are displayed correctly in latin-1 and utf-8 files and the encoding is displayed in the lower left corner of emacs. Thanks to you all for helping me to clear this issue! PS: I promise I will start emacs with "emacs --no-init-file" when registering strange things like these from now on!
