General ⇒ Romanian diacritics don't show up in PDF

[PhantomR]

Greetings LaTeX Community,

I would like to request your help regarding Romanian characters not sowing in my PDF. I have written a document in which I have written characters like ș,ț,ă,î,â, but these do not appear in the output file. Strangely, in a PDF I have downloaded from another site, these charaters seem to appear.

Is there any explanation to it?

Hi,

welcome to the board!

I recommend to use T1 font encoding, and also a suitable input encoding, such as:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% if the editor supports utf8

Hi PhantomR,

Welcome to the LateX community!

Have you ensured you have the right input encoding? Are you using a font that has those diacritics? It would probably help if you would post a minimal working example that reproduces the unwanted behaviour. That way we would more likely be able to see what the issue is.

Regards

PS: tss, Stefan beat me again

Thank you very much Mr. Stefan K and Mr. cgnieder for your replies and for your advices. The two packages Mr. Stefan proposed work flawlessly (it would seem that it works with the first one alone as well).

As Mr. cgnieder suggested, I will try to detail what the problem was. Suppose the following code was built:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
aaaăăăîîîbb
\end{article}

Then it would produce something like

aaabb

In other words, it would "ignore" the diacritics ă,î.


Thank you very much to both of you for your help!
Problem Solved

[cgnieder]

Glad your problem is solved!

However, the code you posted is completely impossible for a standard LaTeX document! It should rather look something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
aaaăăăîîîbb
\end{document}

Best

[PhantomR]

Thank you!:D

I forgot the \begin{document} command. Pardon me. I wanted to post the code which generated the problem. The one you posted would be the solution .

[PhantomR]

Wow! I tried writing another document with the two packages and it seems not to work anymore . However, with the two packages I get question marks instead of ignored characters in the output PDF file.

Perhaps post this new file as attachment. Normally it's good to post code directly in the post text, but in this case it's good to have the original input encoding.
