Umlauts are displayed as fragments when a page is extracted through rdrview. Example: https://www.heise.de/news/Abschaltungen-von-Mining-Farmen-in-China-Gefahr-oder-Chance-fuer-Bitcoin-6160001.html

I can't reproduce. I seem to recall an encoding problem with old versions of lynx, which version are you using? I'm on 2.9.0dev.6.

Also, have you tried other browsers?

Apologies, I have missed your response. My lynx version is 2.8.9rel.1. I have to try a later version. I have tested with w3m 0.5. and the umlauts are displayed correctly.

Lynx version 2.9.0.dev.6 displays the umlauts in the correct way. So it seems to be a problem with lynx. As mentioned w3m also works correctly. Closing, thx!
