Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2007-13
Severity: normal


Hi,

I would like to use some usual characters in UTF-8 Latex documents.
Those characters used to compile with Latex when my documents were
encoded in Latin1/Latin9.  I switched the encoding to UTF-8 to match the
default Debian locale.  Now the documents do not compile any longer and
pdflatex outputs error messages such as this one:

$ pdflatex utf8.tex
[...]
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:° not set up for use with
LaTeX.

Other characters are concerned (do you need a list ?).  I expect at
least all characters from Latin1 and Latin9 charsets to be usable in
UTF-8.

I also attached a binary copy of this document in case of encoding
problems with e-mail.

This is a well known feature/problem.
