Hi,
> But, when I run latex2e on a 8-bit file (with characters such as é,
> ö instead of \'e, \"o), I got nothing (for the 8-bit characters).
...
>From the different answers I got (thanks to everybody), It seems that
the 8-bit input encoding is handled by:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
(why not loading this package by default in a Debian distribution?)
People seem to say that for a multilanguage use, teTeX would be a
good solution.
Anyway, the 'fontenc' package (\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}) is supposed
to use some new fonts, but does not seem to work properly with the
TFM related packages installed from the 1.2.10 Debian distribution.
ii texpsfnt 1.0-1
ii textfm 1.0-3
Any comments.
Thank you for your attention Stéf II
