[Gretl-devel] gretl's TeX output

Hello all, We have a problem with internationalization of gretl's TeX output (mostly on Windows) and I'd like to ask for your views. The current situation is as described in chapter 32 of the Gretl User's Guide. That is: (a) If the "system" encoding is UTF-8 we output TeX in UTF-8 and put appropriate \usepackage{} lines into the TeX header. That's OK. (b) Otherwise we output TeX in the locale encoding and put \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} into the header. That might have been OK in the days when the only translations of gretl were into West European languages, but it's not OK any more. My proposed fix is that we always output TeX in UTF-8, regardless of the platform and the system text encoding. This means that when we output "complete" TeX files (with a header) they will include: \usepackage{ucs} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} Does anyone see a problem with this? Or have an alternative solution? Allin
