And I'm sure I was being very parochial in my thinking: inputenc/fontenc != "works fine". And I'm also sure there are LaTeX packages that mishandle UTF-8, although I didn't realize that listings is one of them. What are the problems? But there are probably many pitfalls here that I've never even thought of. Can somebody refer me to a concise discussion of the problems (before *this* discussion becomes even more OT for this list)? I don't want to wade deep: just to understand what the main problems are. Thanks, Nick
