You probably don't see what I'm seeing. Roughly it looks like "DOjx vu"
That's uppercase D and Theta lowercase j and alpha "vu".
Go to ctan.org, download the "Not so short introduction to LaTeX2e"
(pdf or whatever), goto to the chapter "Typesetting Text" section
"Special Characters and Symbols" sub-section "Accents and Special
Characters". Thats 2.4.7 page 23 . I'm not in a polite mood just now
so no link for you.
As it points out you may \usepackage[x]{inputenc} where x is one of
applemac latin1 ansinew cp860, and such if you like typing the
characters directly and do it a lot (for eample you may be typing an
entire french paper... for which you might use babel).
however, as it further points out, this an be a problem later on if you
move the source to a different machine/environment/person and so they
strongly recommend for shorter cases doing something like:
d\'ej\`a vu. I don't know if those are the right accents...
May it be pointed out that this isn't a LaTeX user mailing list, but
hey... no one actually discusses powerpc specific debian issues... no
wait, they do... half the time.
