Hi there. I already use the babel package with the french option, but I don't think it have to do with the encoding, but simply the translation of LaTeX string (like date format, Table des matières in place of Table of Contents, etc.).
I also include : \usepackage{aeguill} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}% Note that latin1 is the same as ISO8955-1 The problem disappear when I edit my .tex file with "vi" or "nano", but when I start a new .tex file with "gedit", it's not in latin1 encoding... what can I configure this? Thanks again. On Mon, Oct 25, 2004 at 08:33:27PM -0400, Jean-Francois Lefebvre wrote: > I installed Debian two weeks ago, and everything is going good.

I don't know if this helps, but I think the usual way to get accented characters is to escape them. E.g. to get Jésus type J\'esus.
