Hi Nicolas, thanks for response and sorry for delayed answer, I was on vacation and absent to my emacs :/ An ECM would be a file just containing some umlauts. In more detail: using emacs GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.2) of 2013-06-25 on sochi, modified by Debian I export a text =testumlaut1.org= just containing : öäü ÖÄÜ from a latin-1 buffer : 1 -- iso-latin-1-unix (alias: iso-8859-1-unix latin-1-unix) : : ISO 2022 based 8-bit encoding for Latin-1 (MIME:ISO-8859-1). : Type: charset (charset) : EOL type: LF : This coding system encodes the following charsets: : iso-8859-1 with =C-c C-e l l= which results in : % Created 2013-07-31 Mi 08:39 : \documentclass[11pt]{article} : \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} : \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} : \usepackage{fixltx2e} : \usepackage{graphicx} : \usepackage[normalem]{ulem} : \usepackage{textcomp} : \usepackage{latexsym} : \usepackage{amssymb} : \usepackage{amstext} : \author{Jan-Mark Batke} : \date{\today} : \title{testumlaut1} : \hypersetup{ : pdfkeywords={}, : pdfsubject={}, : pdfcreator={Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.0.6)}} : \begin{document} : : \maketitle : \tableofcontents : : öäü ÖÄÜ : % Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.0.6) : \end{document} The file is as well encoded in : 1 -- iso-latin-1-unix (alias: iso-8859-1-unix latin-1-unix) : : ISO 2022 based 8-bit encoding for Latin-1 (MIME:ISO-8859-1). : Type: charset (charset) : EOL type: LF : This coding system encodes the following charsets: : iso-8859-1 Interestingly, exporting in a buffer using =C-c C-e l L= results in : % Created 2013-07-31 Mi 08:45 : \documentclass[11pt]{article} : \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} : \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} : \usepackage{fixltx2e} : \usepackage{graphicx} : \usepackage[normalem]{ulem} : \usepackage{textcomp} : \usepackage{latexsym} : \usepackage{amssymb} : \usepackage{amstext} : \author{Jan-Mark Batke} : \date{\today} : \title{testumlaut1} : \hypersetup{ : pdfkeywords={}, : pdfsubject={}, : pdfcreator={Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.0.6)}} : \begin{document} : : \maketitle : \tableofcontents : : öäü ÖÄÜ : % Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.0.6) : \end{document} but the buffer is : U -- utf-8-unix (alias: mule-utf-8-unix) : : UTF-8 (no signature (BOM)) : Type: utf-8 (UTF-8: Emacs internal multibyte form) : EOL type: LF : This coding system encodes the following charsets: : unicode No problems occur using utf-8 encoding. On windows, it is vice versa, latin-1 does work, utf-8 not. I am not sure this problem depends more on emacs or org-mode.
