All, exporting latex causes some trouble here. - exporting utf-8 ascii does work - exporting latin-1 ascii does not work, - the file format is set correctly (1 in mode-line displayed) - inputenc option is set to latin1 - content is corrupted, e.g. üöä becomes üöä using Org-mode version 8.0.5 (8.0.5-6-g426917-elpa @ xxx .emacs.d/elpa/org-20130708/) and GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.2) of 2013-06-25 on sochi, modified by Debian Interestingly, on WinXP the problem is vice versa: - latin1 export does work (no corrupted umlaute) - utf-8 export fails. äöü becomes \344\366\374 BTW, Ascii-export from org does work correctly for both encodings. Any hint is appreciated Jan-Mark -- Jan-Mark Batke badkey@gmx.net FON +49 511 33 64 800 FAX +49 511 22 09 521
