Well, I feel your eMail came an our hour too late, I just had updated 
and recompiled to check the non-bug in Cua Customization Group ...

I put your patch into src/keyboard.c and re-compiled GNU Emacs for X11. 
Then I tried to i-search ä, ö, ü etc in a test file in ISO 8859-1 
encoding, which worked OK so I assumed it would work for 75 other 
characters too. So I opened (v in dired-mode) the ISO 8859-2 test file 
and tried to i-search again. It failed. And failed for all other ISO 
Latin-x test files, including ISO 8859-15, too.

The still running GNU Emacs from Tuesday has open in lisp-mode the file 
with the infamous 'ö', that can't be found. When I dired in exactly 
that same Emacs in dired-mode the directory with my test files and v 
the ISO 8859-1 test file I can isearch and find ö, to no surprise. In 
ISO 8859-2 test buffer it fails too to i-search °, §, ä ...

My test files are text files with a few columns and 100 or such lines. 
They have headers à la:

;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: iso-8859-2; -*-
;
;       Time-stamp: <2004-12-13 13:18:21 pete>
;
;   Central and Eastern European Glyphs (Latin 2)


The Lisp file, that defines fontsets, starts this way:

;;; -*- mode: Emacs-Lisp; coding: iso-8859-15; -*-
;
;       Time-stamp: <2005-04-12 23:30:39 root>
;
(message "Neue fontsets für Mac OS X")


So, to be exact: your patch does not solve my problem(s), could be it 
does not change anything. It still makes a difference whether Emacs 
reads something from a file or I input it from the keyboard. No 
unification here -- as in physics too.

There *is* one thing that makes a difference: when I launch Emacs from 
emacs/src without options or launch it from /usr/local/bin with option 
-Q, both have a rather big font or fontset on and both can search in an 
ISO 8859-15 buffer for ä, ö, ü -- and they find them! ISO 8859-2 shows 
success too. It it is obvious that there's something wrong in my 
customization that breaks it all!

Can you give me some pointers, please? Although I think that today I 
might not find time to check that all (someone's waiting).
