You could try using XeLaTeX, which supports unicode.  Instructions for

My lisp is not very good, but what is the need for such an extensive
setup? Isn't setting org-latex-to-pdf-process to xelatex enough to
switch packends?

In any case, I tried evaluating the provided code in a scratch buffer
and processing to pdf (C-c C-e p). But it keeps failing. From the error
it seems org is still trying latex instead of xelatex and no pdf is
produced. Do you have any ideas about what could I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for your response.

Did you remember to set the variable

#+LATEX_CMD: xelatex

at the top of the org file?


Chris.
