i get real letters; is your tex binary configures all right (for 8 bit writes)

I have no idea where to set this up (tetex 2.0.2 on linux). Has anybody else any ideas? Patrick

You can use

texexec --translate=cp8bit test.tex

to get it all right! I wonder if one can make it default somewhere?

(Just came across this while reading the texexec user's guide in the MAPS 28 :)

strange that this needed, i don't need it here (maybe unix specific) you can say as top line in your doc: % translate=... and texexec wil pick it up Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

it would be nice if one could write this in texexec.ini :)

dangerous, since it is a document property better is to find out why your tex does not has 8 bit by default Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
