problem of accents with pdflatex export

Hello,

I do not succeed to solve this problem of accent with pdflatex :

in my org-mode file I have  this code :

# -*- mode:org; mode:reftex; indent-tabs-mode:nil; tab-width:2 -*-
> #+TITLE: Mon premier document en org-mode
> #+AUTHOR: Joseph Vidal-Rosset
> #+OPTIONS: LaTeX:t
> #+LATEX_CLASS: koma-article
> #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
> #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
> #+LANGUAGE:  fr
> #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[french]{babel}
> #+HTML_MATHJAX: align:"left" mathml:t path:"/MathJax/MathJax.js"
> #+OPTIONS: tex:imagemagick
>
>
> * Introduction...
>  à voir


the export with pdflatex does not succeed to save the letter   "à " : every
letter with French accent is given up in the pdf file. Why ?

It works fine with html export...

French users and others, in advance, thanks for your help !

Jo.

Unless you've done massive customizations of things like
org-latex-default-packages-alist, you don't need the fontenc/inputenc
packages: they are included automatically.

I had no trouble exporting this, after adding a koma-article-class
definition to org-latex-classes:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq koma-article-class
      '("koma-article" "\\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}"
        ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
        ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
        ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
        ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
        ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes koma-article-class t)        
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and deleting the various #xa0 NO-BREAK SPACE characters which caused
LaTeX errors (these are displayed as light blue underscores in my
buffer). 

The resulting PDF is attached and looks fine.

 Shot in the dark: could it be that the encoding of your
org file needs to be saved in utf8 in order to generate a utf8
latex file? Regards, Andrea

I thank you Andrea, and Nick,

Andrea, you are probably right. Is it a way to automatically save the .org
file in utf8 ? In my emacs the encoding is utf8 by default.

Best wishes,

Jo.

  Sorry, I never customized file-coding-system-alist
and related variables, defaults worked well for me, so
unfortunately I don't have good hints... but please note
that in my simple environment (Win7 + Emacs 24.3 + Org 8.2.2-elpa
+ nearly zero customizations) I can export org to PDF with
àèìòù (Italian) without any need to specify encodings, it
just worked out-of-the-box.

I would suggest to investigate in these directions:
    
1) try to see what happens without customizations
   (maybe by running "emacs -Q")

2) try to force utf8 on that specific org file, by saying in
the head line:
# -*- mode:org; ....your settings...; coding:utf-8 -*-

3) or alternatively:
# -*- mode:org; ....your settings...; coding:iso-8859-1 -*-

  Kindest regards, 

      Andrea

Many thanks Andrea, you are indeed very kind to try to help me when
everything works fine in your configuration by default.

My OS is Debian (testing) GNU Linux and I'm working with emacs-snapshot.

In fact I have realized that this problem of accents appears only with
Gnome pdf viewer immediately open after C-e l-o . There is no problem when
I compile after directly to pdflatex the latex file produced with the org
file. Therefore it is a minor bug or a minor problem.

But I meet several difficulties with my tentative of transition from
writing  .tex files to .org files instead. Therefore I am going to write an
email to this list of very kind and helpful people.

Best wishes ,

Jo.

Dear Joseph,

One minor suggestion: before exporting/texing you can play around with the
encoding used to save the file by doing

C-x RET f

and then specify the one you want (with tab completion as usual). 

You can see which one (among utf-8, or the several iso, etc) works for you
before fixing them in the head line as suggested by Andrea. In my case
(which I guess could be similar to yours in terms of types of accents, ñ,
etc), I use iso-8859-15.


Best,

R.

Dear Ramon,

Many thanks for your help. It seems that my problem was not really serious.

Best wishes, and, soon, happy new year !
