Public bug reported:

LaTeX files that are imported from a Windows file system can not be
handled correctly using Ubuntu.

When working with such files, all characters like Ä/Ö/Ü/ß etc. are completely 
messed up. All of them are replaced by a " � " glyph. When compiling such 
files, the � are simply ignored and characters are missing in the compiled file.
This bug occurs with editors like gedit, as well as with special LaTeX editors 
like Kile.

This bug is a very severe one for a great number of students and
scientists who want to merge to Ubuntu. The work-flow is completely
broken. I would propose to give this a medium priority.
