[OS X TeX] Umlauts won't print

[Doris Behrendt]

Manuel,

first, I advise using _new_german, that ist >>ngerman<<, since german orthography has changed a little bit some years ago;
then I would try to give the option in the documentclass-line:
\doc…class[article,ngerman…]{memoir}

and then also mind the encoding, which was mentioned by others

> letters with umlauts either do not appear (oddly enough, not even in the source) or do so in a variety of apparently arbitrarily forms like ~n instead o ñ, É instead of é and I hope this will show correctly in this mail. I looked for but did not find a solution. Probably the magic words have changed. Is there any helping wizard?
