I'm not sure this will help, but what is the value of default-enable-multibyte-characters? Also, you don't mention how you start emacspeak, but it used to be that the emacspeak script, which some people used to start emacs and emacspeak, contained the environment variable EMACS_UNIBYTE=1. This might not be the case anymore. I've not upgraded in a while so I cannot be sure. Here are the other settings I have in my .emacs file that pertain to utf-8: (setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) Set via Customize: '(current-language-environment "UTF-8") Even if this does not fix the problem, perhaps it leads you in the right direction. rdc -- Robert D.
