I thought the Latin-filter was a SOLR feature? I, for one, definitely meant a SOLR filter. Given what Walter rightly pointed out about differences in language, I suspect it would be a SOLR-level thing - fieldType name="textDE" language="DE" would apply the filter of unicode chars to {ascii?} with the appropriate mapping for German, etc. Or is this that Lucene would / should take care of ?
