Oh, that's great. Now it works with the \passthroughcharstrue patch
by Gavin. The umlauts now appear correctly both in the bookmarks
and on the page. Great, just like I wanted to have it.

I didn't understand every detail in your discussions but AFAIU Gavin's
patch only works with Latin-1 characters, doesn't it? This would be
completely sufficient for my purposes because I only need this to
work with Western European languages (mainly German, French, Spanish),
so Latin 1 would be sufficient...
