Exporting to latex fails for obscure reasons. describe-coding-system says ---------------- Coding system for saving this buffer: 1 -- iso-latin-1-unix (alias: iso-8859-1-unix latin-1-unix) Default coding system (for new files): 1 -- iso-latin-1-unix (alias: iso-8859-1-unix latin-1-unix) ---------------- And the codings system is the same for new files, despite all utf8 settings. Any ideas?
