Re: org-mode export to (latex) PDF

["Jonathan McHugh" <indieterminacy@libre.brussels>]

Hi Jean-Christophe,

I have heard positive things with regards to the document management system, Context, for handling non Latin characters.

It may be worth considering as an alternative to Latex.

I recall there was momentum re exporting to Context from Orgmode, hopefully a solid implementation is available.

Kind regards,
