Quoting Herbert Georg
I'm from Brasil and I have LaTeX2e installed in my suse 9.2. I have already saned the problem about the hyphenation by editing the language.dat file as recommended by Alberto Vecchiato in an earlier post here. But still I have a problem. All my colleagues that use latex are able to type accented characters, like "?" or "?", directly to their ".tex" file, instead of typing "\'a" or "\`a", and compile it succesfully, producing the desired font in the ".dvi" file. I cannot, and I don't know why. Take a look at my preamble:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,portuguese,openright,twoside]{report} \usepackage[brazil]{babel} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{graphics} \usepackage[small]{caption2}
In principle, the "\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}" command would do it. But it doesn't for me. Has anybody any clue of what may be the problem?
Thanks in advance Herbert
Can you input the accented characters into the .tex file? Not all terminals and editor support non-ascii characters. Have you tried it with fewer packages? Start by dropping all the AMS packages. Jeffrey
