Hi i am using an old vesion of WinEdt (5.4) and MikTeX 2.5 (I am not able to update an y cause its a company computer, very restricted!). Anyway, I am swedish and want to write with swedish letters so I use:
\usepackage[swedish]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
I click on TeXify and Yap starts rendering the dvips file. But i get an error (and weird output) and it halts on rendfer method PKfont otherwise it use to ask me to swirtch to dvips
\textbf{Beskriv dig själv, vem är du egentligen?}\\
Jag är uppvuxen i Halmstad och flyttade till Malmö 2001.
becomes
Beskriv dig sj, vem u egentligen?
Jag ppvuxen i Halmstad och flyttade till Malm 2001.
And clicking "document properties" in yap tells me that "ecrm1095" and "ecbx1095" could not be loaded, and it mentions "cmsy10" but the window too small to see what it says is the problem with that file. But switching to dvips render method "document properties" doesnt say that the files are not loaded, but they are still there. An the text doent become any more right.
What should I do?
pdflatex(!) a small (!) "Hello World"-latex file with\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}in it to get some better messages about the fonts. Btw: I don't think that winedt 5.4. could already handle utf8. Don't you get errors in the log? – Ulrike Fischer Sep 14 '12 at 9:03\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}. That's better for windows. And the option doesn't depend on the OS but on the encoding of the file itself. Your old winedt can only save files as ansinew. In newer winedt you could choose between ansinew and utf8. Btw: You should learn to check the log-file. There must have been a lots of errors due to the wrong inputenc option. – Ulrike Fischer Sep 14 '12 at 9:26
