German Umlauts not displayed in Output

Post by BLATEX »

Hi,

I'm new here and I've a question on German umlauts. I'm using TeXworks and I use these packages.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}	% Eingabekodierungen
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}	% Mehrsprachenumgebung
Unfortunately, after the abstract (in the abstract everything is fine) umlauts weren't shown correctly ("bäh" becomes "bh").

I hope someone can help me.
bye, BLATEX

I solved my problem. TeXworks wasn't able to handle the umlauts and eliminated them.

Thanks and goodbye

I cannot confirm this, I'm typing German umlauts with TeXworks all the time. It should work out of the box.

Or did you perhaps use a different editor to enter the text?

Can it be that you said \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} but saved the file in another encoding, latin1 say?

Can you tell us how? Other users might have a similar problem and would surely appreciate if they had an explanation and solution.
