Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Problem with Cedilla

[nortada]

Hello,

I'm writing a Msc. thesis in english, but where the cover and some sections will be in portuguese. I'm also using a Latex template, with its own document class, and that is a big mess, with settings spread on many different files. I'm working on linux Texlive with Emacs-Auctex as editor.

I have a problem that I cannot solve, although I tried almost everything I could think of. I can't get the character 'ç', while I can obtain all the other accented characters in portuguese.

My document is using:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[portuguese,english]{babel}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{phv}

Does anyone have some hint on what might be the problem, or at least what I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance

In Emacs you could use the "C-x 8" compose character key sequence:
C-x 8 , c
That's Ctrl-x, followed by an 8, followed by a comma, followed by a c.

Alternatively, in any editor you could use \c{c}:

Code: Select all

I have find what was the problem...

I had redefined the command '\c{}', for something I wasn't even using any more (at the time I didn't know that \c was for the cedilla). And since I was writing directly 'ç' instead of '\c' there was no error in output log.

Sorry for the hassle. You can ignore this post.
