Re: Re: Setting encoding for application
Hi there.
I already use the babel package with the french option, but I don't
think it have to do with the encoding, but simply the translation of
LaTeX string (like date format, Table des matières in place of Table of
Contents, etc.).
I also include :
\usepackage{aeguill}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}% Note that latin1 is the same as ISO8955-1
The problem disappear when I edit my .tex file with "vi" or "nano", but
when I start a new .tex file with "gedit", it's not in latin1
encoding... what can I configure this?
Thanks again.

I don't know if this helps, but I think the usual way to get accented
characters is to escape them. E.g. to get Jésus type J\'esus.
And at the top of your document - after \documentclass - you may need
a line like
\usepackage[french]{babel}
