This is a follow-up question to UTF8 for listings

With these MWE I will not see the german umlauts in the resulted pdf (XeLaTeX was used):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verbments}
\begin{document}
\begin{pyglist}[encoding=utf-8,language=text]
Test äöü Test
\end{pyglist}
\end{document}

What should I do to support UTF-8 in verbments?

  • I use Debian and I have to install python-pygments first. To compile, I use xelatex -shell-escape inputtest.tex

  • Since I cannot install that package in my machine, I found a solution to deal with UTF-8 and listings here tex.stackexchange.com/questions/24528/… (see the best answer).

    load the package fontspec which should be loaded by default of you use LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX.

    As Marco Daniel observes, you must load fontspec for the thing to work.

Your issue isn't related to verbments. It's a font issue related to German umlauts. XeLaTeX uses utf-8 as default but the predefined font doesn't support this. A look in the log file shows for the following example:

\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
Test äöü Test
\end{document}

related part of the log-file:

Missing character: There is no ä in font cmr10!
Missing character: There is no ö in font cmr10!
Missing character: There is no ü in font cmr10!

To work with German umlauts you have to load the package fontspec which should be loaded normally. See: Frequently loaded packages: Differences between pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX
