Robert, I've inserted the utf-8 related variables in my .emacs file and I still have the problem. I wonder if it's an espeak problem? The weird thing is that I can't delete the multibyte characters, it's a nightmare, they're indestructible. I don't think espeak would cause this behavior. I'm running version 22 of emacs.
