I'm afraid this is a bug. I read the inputenc documentation and tried several encodings the problem is always the same. Therefore another question, as I have the characters in the abstract only, is there a possibility to use different fonts for abstract and the rest of the text?

I tried your code in a new file and it doesn't work as well.
I get the following result : Falsches en von Xylophonmusik qu jeden grren Zwerg and these error messages:

./Untitled.tex:8: Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'.
See the inputenc ...

I would like to use GFS Didot as font for my thesis, however I have a strange problem with the german characters.

\documentclass[pdftex,11pt,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}

I looked up how margins are commonly set in a book layout and found that the ratio ...

The \vspace as well as \abstitleskip move the abstract title and the body closer together (if I use \vspace before \begin{abstract} nothing happens). It solves the problem but looks quite ugly. Is there no possibility to move the entire abstract including text and title higher in the page or to set ...

The \setlength commands I found in the abstract package are:

\absleftindent
\absrightindent
\absparindent
\absparseptext

I'm afraid they won't do the job....

Hello, I'm new to latex and I have a problem with the abstract margins. The topmargin is way to large and I can't fit my abstract on one page. Further I'd like to have an equal top and bottom margin for the abstract. I've pasted my preamble below. Can someone please please help me?

Thanks Malvi ...
