troubles with é , ö etc.

Post by spins »

Hi there,

I have no problem whatsoever with é, ö, ë etc. when using Texmaker (I use inputenc Latin1), however, things seem to be different whilst using the portable version of Texmaker. It seems to change this kind of signs in to other signs whilst compiling (just as Texworks does).

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Have you checked to see if the character encoding that Texmaker is using is right?

I'm not familiar with the portable version, but in the regular version, this is under Options > Configure Texmaker > Editor > Editor Font Encoding.

(I think latin1 is the same as windows 1252, but Personally, if it were up to me, I'd use UTF-8 encoding for the editor, and \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in my .tex file: that should give you a lot more characters to use, but the important thing is that they match.)
