Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Working with special characters in german

[Murd]

Hey!

I'm currently working on a document on which I would like to use the font "Charter". I got everything in place by using:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{charter}

The only thing that does not work is the german "ß". It gets replaced by "SS". After quite a lot of searching nothing seems to work. I've already tried the following setup:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\usepackage{charter}


\begin{document}
	ß, ä, ö, ü
\end{document}

This is what I get:

Hope for some advice!
Thank you!

Hi Murd!

Your code should work with pdfLaTeX.

I think you are using XeLaTeX. In that case, instead of

Code: Select all

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{charter}

write

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{XCharter}

Or use pdfLaTeX.
