Maybe the idea to try something new. Result: A lot of senseless glyphs.

Yes.

Yes. I am still seeking .emacs…

Yes, all files I have worked with. It´s a desaster.

I am quite silly, but the idea to try Google even came to me. There I  
got about one million of potential answers, but at the moment my time

I am not able to write such a manual. Well, so I shall go on working  
with latin1. Although it is not satisfying to use utf8 with BBEdit  
and latin1 with TeXShop. And not promising at all.

I do not understand this remark.
