i have done the test and it was not the font, the font displays in the
standard-command/cmd shell all umlaut characters correct if i type 'dir'
but the same font in cygwin-bash produces only ? instead of a umlaut.

Suppose i have a file with name "klausÄÖÜ":

ls --version:
ls (GNU fileutils) 4.0

(Lars uses 3.16; can this be the problem??)

ls -b
klaus\300\322\330

ls -N
klaus???

You have mentioned the codepage: How can i change the codepage and what
codepage must i use??

Thanks in advance,
Klaus
