inputenc | Extended Unicode Input Encoding

Post by Nikos »

Hello all!

I try to build texts in greek polytonic, while having in my preamble the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[german,english,polutonikogreek]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
The problem is that i can built the text with the pc at work, but i cannot do the same with my own pc. I keep getting back this message:
the required file tex\latex\unicode\utf8x.def is missing. It is a part of the following package: unicode.
I cannot solve the problem through downloading the missing file, simply because it seems that there is nothing to download.

In both computers i use the same version of MiKTeX and TeXmaker and same options.

I know that i can replace utf8x with iso-8859-7 to write in Greek polytonic, but that would mean that i should have to rewrite texts already written in word documents.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.
