Package: texlive-binaries Version: 2009-11 If you compile the latex below to DVI, and then to PDF using dvipdfmx, dvipdfmx produces the following error and the resulting PDF contains no diacritics.
** WARNING ** Obsolete four arguments of "endchar" will be used for Type 1 "seac" operator. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{charter} \begin{document} chass\'e du G\"obe \end{document} If you replace charter by lmodern, it works, so the bug may be in the font itself (Bitstream charter from texlive-fonts-recommended, version: 2009-11) Regards, --Martin PS: duplicate of bug #639373 since dvipdfmx has been included in texlive-binaries
