I really hate those "smart quotes", better named "dumb quotes", because: - I don't find them attractive at all, but that's personal, and could depend on font families, etc. - they're not correctly converted when playing with the coding system: from UTF-8 to Latin 1, for example. That's really nasty. I was/am planning to have a function for converting them on the fly when pasting... or when saving the Org buffer... or at any better moment.

UTF-8 is correctly handled in LaTeX documents, but not in every environment: Listings has problems, even if a Listings exist for UTF-8, and so for many other environments. So I would say that UTF-8 usage is still not yet fully supported in TeX. Best regards, Seb --=20 S=C3=A9bastien Vauban
