Dear all,
I currently have a problem with TeXShop using Unicode:
I am trying to texify an older tex-file (about 300 pages, document
written using WinEdt/MikTeX on a Windows machine) with MacTeX-2007/
TeXShop. When the document was created the coding "ISO Latin 1" was
used. So, I opened the tex-file with this coding and then saved it in
UTF-8 coding (I am routinely using this coding in TeXShop).
I then have changed
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
to
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
in the preamble.
When texifying this document (TeX and Ghostscript) I receive a lot of
error messages that seem to be due to the inputenc package or the
utf8 coding, respectively, e.g.
! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'.
l.2064 ...,\textsc{l}-Alanin zu \textsc{l}-Alanin}
, Rheinische Friedrich
?
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:‰tB not set up for use
with LaTeX.
l.2065 Wilhelms Universit‰t B
onn, Diss., 1991
?
[221]
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:‰tB not set up for use
with LaTeX.
What goes wrong here?
And how can I easily switch to the input lines that are responsible
for the errors (I can't use pdfsync)?
I read in several list that TeXShop is known to have a general
problem with Unicode UTF-8. This is why some people are using
TeXMaker instead. However I don't see any problems with UTF-8 coding
in TexShop when creating a new document in TeXShop.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Christoph
