[pdftex] Umlaut hyphenation without T1 fontenc

(The hyphenation is correct.)

Using old text encoding, you cannot, because ä is no OT1 letter. You 
need to use an T1 encoded font to do so, e.g. the computer modern 
reencodings \usepackage{ae} or the like. In case you don't do so, the 
only way is to enter Schwer"-be"-schä"-dig"-ten into your text every 
time.

Guess this is a faq. Gosh, never read the faq for a long time ...
