Umlauts in IDL 6.0 and 7.0 [message #62054]

Dear all.

I have encountered an annoying problem with IDL 7.0 (German version,
German keyboard). All the umlauts within programs I wrote with IDL
6.0 are changed to some weird characters. Also, when I use

Xyouts, 0.5, 0.5, 'ä', Align = 0.5, CharSize = 4, /Normal

IDL 7.0 displays two special characters, while IDL 6.0 correctly
displays "ä".

When I enter

print, byte('ä')

in IDL 7.0's command line I get "195 164" as a result.
IDL 6.0 correctly prints "228".

Also the degree symbol is incorrectly displayed.

So what is going on here? Do I have to change the character set or
something? How do I do this?

Michael
