- It is clear that in all these umlaute the new vowel is exactly intermediate between the original vowel of the root and the modifying one of the termination : if the new vowel became identical with its modifier, the result would be not an umlaut but a complete assimilation.

- {1} When processing German text with TEX one is faced with the following problem: Many German words contain “umlaute'” (ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü) and/or the sharp S (ß). These letters are normally produced by control sequences (\"a ' ... \"U or \ss).
- {2} A reasonable place for the German umlaute' might be the positions ’32 ' ... ’37 in the Computer Modern text fonts where normally the Scandinavian ligatures are placed.
- {3} The creation of the umlaute as described above is just a few lines of code.
- {4} It should be noticed that the procedure for handling umlaute as described above keeps TEX source files portable to other installations.
- Many computer users are tempted to use built-in umlaut features that come with mircosoft softwares. However, there are still people who do not use microsoft compatible computers (like Apple2) and who are not planning to buy a new computer just to be able to read umlaute'. My suggestion is that ' umlaute be written as "a or ae, "o or oe, "u or ue.
