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 "á" or "à", 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

SUSE uses UTF-8 encoding by default (unless you changed it) which is different from latin1. I am not sure that this is your problem, but it could be. -Kastus
What is the option I should use then? Kastus wrote:

Its solved. I replaced "latin1" by "utf8" and it's allright now.... Kastus wrote:

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
