Thank you for the reply, > Did you try > \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} > which is possible without -extra? Does this suffice?
Unfortunately no. In my code, which works OK with texlive version 2009-7, I have \usepackage{ucs} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} Changing this to read only \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} will cause the following error: ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:∩ not set up for use with LaTeX. --- TeX said --- See the inputenc package documentation for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.30 $A$ of $Y$ is closed in $Y$ if $A=C∩ Y$ for some closed set $C$ in $X$. So it halts with error when hitting the character '∩', the first non-ascii character in the file. Declaring the character manually using \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{2229}{\cap} Made this error go away (instead it complains about the next undeclared character). But I'd rather not have to manually declare all the ones I use when they are already handled by the ucs package.
