What do others think? I still think we want to translate to LaTeX macros (xml entities) the caracters that do not have a good match in the output charset. To be able to do that, I am not sure what is required, but an exception seems reasonable. However, while I can see how this works in a char-by-char conversion, it seems more complicated for a complete string. I guess though that we do mainly char-by-char in cases of interest. JMarc
