My test files were originally on an HFS+ and on an UFS (UNIX File  
System) volume (partition, slice, ...). This evening I copied them to  
an MS-DOS FAT16 file system. When I invoke GNU Emacs with -Q I see in  
all three file systems the decomposed characters in the file names.  
With ucs-normalize loaded and file-name-coding-system set to utf-8- 
hfs the look in all three file systems OK. This makes the chosen name  
utf-8-hfs not the best. Maybe utf-8-osx is more appropriate.


Anyway, I get good results with:

        (require 'ucs-normalize)
        (setq file-name-coding-system   'utf-8-hfs)
        (prefer-coding-system           'utf-8-hfs)

Isearch works, *Buffer List* contains the correct names – only the  
Buffers menu fails (except when in the Cocoa Emacs.app). Possibly  
this is best reported in another bug report.
