Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ How do I produce Spanish for accented char?

[mvaled]

Hi all,

I've been using latex regularly for over a year. I write mostly in Spanish using the babel package for ease of typing. I also use the inputenc package to type in UTF-8 encoding.

I have just notice that I can't copy and paste accented words from the PDF.

If I write something like: "También constituye una muestra ...", then when I copy from the resulting PDF and paste I get something like:

Code: Select all

Tambi ́n constituye una muestra
     e

Notice the tilde over the "n" is not a single glyph, but two overlapping ones; and the "e" has been placed on the following line.

Any ideas how to produce the "real" é?

Best regards,
Manuel.

I've just hit my head with fontenc and all my problems were down to 0.

Thanks.

You need to enable Cork Encoding (T1 encoding) by means of the fontenc package to get that feature.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,spanish]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}
  También constituye uña muestra
\end{document}

If that doesn't help, try additionally the cmap package.


Best regards and welcome to the board
