Re: PDF printing on debian squeeze + 1.3.18

I installed a brand new 1.3.18 on a fresh debian squeeze.

Almost everything working.

IÂhave problems with quotation PDF printing.

IÂinstalled almost every latex related packages, but still have no luck (except pricelist, it is printed well).

I tried xedemo and demo, different problems.

I used Hungarian characters, seems nothing special. HTMLÂoutput is correct.

Unfortunately, using Hungarian characters *is* something special: LaTeX doesn't handle it quite well as it wasn't designed for UTF-8 character sets (which LSMB uses internally). The solution is to use XeLaTeX (which is part of XeTeX). However, that currently requires patching Latex::Driver. However, when you do, it's no longer suitable for other programs to be used, because it'll trigger XeLaTeX and not LaTeX.

Tests

pdflatex LedgerSMN-manual working well, pdf generated nicely.

..hidden..:/usr/local/ledgersmb# perl -MLedgerSMB::Template::Latex -e print
Can't locate LedgerSMB/Template/Latex.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .).

Xedemo

This directory is meant as input for XeLaTeX and can't be fed into LaTeX without the errors shown below.Â

latex error - pdflatex exited with errors:
!
l.27 \RequireXeTeX
!
l.18 \RequireXeTeX
!

Demo

latex error - pdflatex exited with errors:
! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
l.43 }
! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
l.43 }
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:\ufffdgy not set up for use with LaTeX.
l.43 }

Right. LaTeX doesn't handle UTF-8 characters very well...

I could send you the patched files I use with PDF output for Norwegian characters, if that'd help?

Bye,

Erik.
