Public bug reported:
Hope this is the right package and not glibc: Got a bug report for
wxMaxima that Umlaute ("öäüÄÖÜß") aren't treated as ordinary letters
anymore. As wxMaxima uses the isalpha() command in order to see if
something is a letter and since wxMaxima uses utf8 that meant that
isalpha() doesn't recognize an unicode umlaut as letter anymore. Which
solved my problem: ispell.el in emacs currently divides words at any
umlaut.
LC_CTYPE seems to be set correctly, though:
gunter@marius:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
...and I definitively use UTF8.
