Hallo,

The entire desktop is coded utf-8. Only TeX/PDFLaTeX etc. generate files
in iso 8859-15 encoding. Additionally, I cannot use German Umlaute in
File and directory names. I knew about whitespace in file names, but
since any other program deals well with äüö  I do not understand why TeX
does not, too. 

Is this behaviour hardwired or are there any configuration files that I
missed? 

Greetings from the Black Forest!

Bernhard
