If the OP needs funny stuff as labels
Heiko, you are, I believe, a native German speaker
(please correct me if I am mistaken). In your
personal opinion, are the following "letters",
"arbitrary rubbisch", or "funny stuff" ?
ä, ö, ü, ß, ??, ??
Then try
ä, ö, ü, ß
\bye
in plain TeX.
But we're not discussing Plain TeX, Heiko : this is the
XeTeX list, where the world has moved on, where UTF-8 is
the norm, and where ASCII is no more than a bad dream.
Are you really suggesting that in Plain XeTeX,
ä, ö, ü, ß
\bye
is anything other than a normal, everyday, document ?
I have just processed it here, and with
the addition of just two lines to change the default
font to a Unicode-compatible one, it generates exactly
what one would hope for and expect in the 21st century.
