I think [fn:1] that it is a bug and that the following patch fixes it: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- but I have not tested it extensively and it may do more harm than good: I'd wait for a more definitive opinion. Alternatively, you can use UTF-8 in your org file and write Schrödinger explicitly. This will survive the LaTeX export intact and the \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in the LaTeX file will do the right thing with it.[fn:2] Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] but I'm really not sure: I've lost track of how things work in LaTeX export - sigh... [fn:2] I'm not sure whether it will survive the email trip though. Here's hoping that it will. --- lisp/org-latex.el | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/lisp/org-latex.el b/lisp/org-latex.el index 4085d6e91..a2ff517c9 100644 --- a/lisp/org-latex.el +++ b/lisp/org-latex.el @@ -2417,6 +2417,7 @@ The conversion is made depending of STRING-BEFORE and STRING-AFTER."
