Hi Francesco,

here is a possible solution:

Please get the latest git version of org-mode. Then put the following code into
.emacs:

    (defun my-org-export-latex-fix-inputenc ()
      "Set the codingsystem in inputenc to what the buffer is."
      (let* ((cs buffer-file-coding-system)
             (opt (latexenc-coding-system-to-inputenc cs)))
        (when opt
          (goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "\\\\usepackage\\[\\(.*?\\)\\] {inputenc}"
                                    nil t)
            (goto-char (match-beginning 1))
            (delete-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))
            (insert opt))
          (save-buffer))))

    (eval-after-load "org-latex"
      '(add-hook 'org-export-latex-after-save-hook
                 'my-org-export-latex-fix-inputenc))

Let me know how it goes.....

Hi,

I have colleagues who are writing Org documents with latin-1 encoding and when I export these documents to LaTeX I run into problems, because Org assumes
utf8.

Here's a little example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_CLASS: article

* Ceci est un test

Voici un petit texte rédigé en français.

* COMMENT Setup

# This is for the sake of Emacs.
# Local Variables:
# coding: iso-latin-1
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The exportation to LaTeX gives the following result:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

When compiling, due to the \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} directive, I get this
error:

ERROR: Package utf8x Error: MalformedUTF-8sequence.


In order to fix this issue, I see the following solutions:

- Would it be possible for Org to automatically get the coding system of the
buffer and then generate the correct option for the inputenc package?

or

- Would it be possible to have a variable like #+CODING-SYSTEM: iso- latin-1 which would be used to generate the correct option for the inputenc package?

Any other proposition or idea is welcome.

In addition, Org should use the `utf8x' option (instead of `utf8') which
enables to handle unbreakable spaces (useful in french).

Thanks.

Regards,
Francesco
