Thank you for the quick answers! Yes this web page is a bit ... shocking :-)
This welcome from a grammarian is not a huge success! I think I have to take
over this page too (sigh!).
This are great news, that there is a regular meeting of TeX-Users in Munich.
There will be at least one more adherent.

I suppose that Universal Word is using a strange encoding. In any case,
because of these troubles I wanted to persuade my friend to use XeLaTeX
(good idea?).
I am just discovering that TeXMaker is running on Mac too!!! Fantastic! I am
just downloading it.
Could somebody make a little little template out of a pdf-file found on
www.az-dili.com ? I could also send a little text-file in Unicode to every
body, willing to help me with this.
Thank you to all
