Re: problem of accents with pdflatex export

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte <rdiaz02@gmail.com>]

Dear Joseph,

One minor suggestion: before exporting/texing you can play around with the
encoding used to save the file by doing

C-x RET f

and then specify the one you want (with tab completion as usual). 

You can see which one (among utf-8, or the several iso, etc) works for you
before fixing them in the head line as suggested by Andrea. In my case
(which I guess could be similar to yours in terms of types of accents, ñ,
etc), I use iso-8859-15.


Best,

R.
