Problems with \item and german ä

Post by bowie »

Hello,

I am using Kile and I have devided my document in several parts and with \input I build the whole thing together.
My problem is, that I can not use the ä in my tex-File.
Using it ends a an error message:
./Masterarbeit_Grundlagen_und_Stand_der_Technik.tex:36:Command \textcurrency unavailable in encoding T1. ...lkonflikt zwischen Genauigkeit, Stabilitä


When I substitute the ä by \"{a} I have no problem.

Can somebody please tell me what I have to do to use the ä like ö or ü ?

I am using the following packages:

Code: Select all

\
documentclass[a4paper,12pt,titlepage]{book}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{caption2}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
Thanks !!

Just looking through your code, well, it should work. Maybe the order of the invoked packages messes something up.

I use the following code right behind \documentclass:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ngerman} % which should have the same result as \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

and it works in both worlds, Linux and Windows.

What encoding are you using _in kile_ ?

Hmm... You are using utf-8 in kile but latin1 ([latin1]{inputenc}) in your tex-file? Make sure that you tell latex to use the correct encoding.
