Hi Julien, I get prompts for encoding when saving/exporting (on Windows only) so I put the following at the top of my org-files --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- which seems to fix the problem for me. Maybe this will help? Bernt
