Problems with international characters in menus on Mac OSX

[John Olsson]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing 
list and possibly to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


If I add a menu to the menu bar (or menu items to a menu) containing 
international characters (for instance any of the swedish characters 
'å', 'ä' and 'ö') they will not show up correctly.

For instance
'å' shows as Â
'ä' shows as '‰'
'ö' shows as '^'
'Å' shows as '≈'

In other parts of the Emacs window swedish characters shows correctly 
(buffers, status bar and mini buffer).


In earlier versions (21 and earlier) having international characters in 
menus caused Emacs to crash when any menu was selected. Fortunately 
Emacs does not crash any longer, but still the wrong characters are 
shown in the menus.
