Encoding selection is in no way automatic in latex. You generally have to explicitly specify which encoding your latex source is using. Eg: \usepackage{ucs} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} |
|
|
I'd tried before using \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} under "Font/Headers", and I tried using your usepackage statements, but it won't work. Neither with \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}. I'm attaching a scribus document containing a one-word latex frame , could you try to get it working? |

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} placed under "Font/Headers" should be enough to get most of the characters working, i do not even need that additional package here, but that depends much of the latex distro used. I managed to output some cyrillic characters too. Looks more like a basic problem of latex use than anything. |

Sample of latex code that works (to run without preamble): \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \begin{document} Polish: ? ? \end{document} |

I've tried the last latex sample (without preamble), it works with latin1, but as soon as I enter a Polish word (see the attached Polish text sample), I get the "Running the external application failed!" error. Could you check if the sample latext code works for you with current svn135? |

I attached a sample of polish text which works perfectly here. As i said the problem appears only when specific characters are used. That's why I wrote that issue looks more like a basic problem of latex use than anything. |

the latex code with one polish word w/o preamble from your scribus document worked on my system too (the preview wasn't ok, but it didn't at least end with an error). But you are right, as soon, as I use other polish characters like aogonek 0x0105 it stops working. Please do not close yet, I'm going to seek assistance among non-latin1 Scribus users on the mailing list. BTW, see the error I get on loading your document -- is the path to the latex config file really meant to be stored within the scribus document? |

I think you should better look for assistance amongst non-latin1 *latex* users! After having read some page about latex encoding handling, it looks like it's far from easy as users may have to change some font encoding parameters too. |

I've found someone with both Scribus 1.3.5 _and_ LaTeX experience:) either: 1. Enter this latex code into Font/Headers tab of a LaTex frame, the option "MeX" can be omitted: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[MeX]{polski} or: 2. This sample should work without preamble: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{polski} \begin{document} enter some weird Polish characters here \end{document} Tested, works, see the attached screenshot and sample Scribus doc. Please don't close yet, since I'd like to wait for verification (there was something about package babel not working). |

Babel is not related to scribus. If it's not working for you, this is a latex distro problem, not a scribus problem. |
|
|
verified, closing. Jean and Mariusz, thank you for your patience, all hints will go into this article: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Get_Started_with_Render_Frames_in_Scribus |

closing. btw, jghali, could you send a new mantis password to mslonina (the user monitoring this issue)? He lost his mantis account data. |
