I'm writing some texts in Brazilian Portuguese using LaTeX. Eventually I have to copy/paste some parts of those texts in Word, but with character problems.
I use the following code:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\begin{document}
Some text in portuguese with special characters: Coagulação de
partículas à escala microscópica
\end{document}
But when I copy/paste the result is:
Some text in portuguese with special characters: Coagulac¸ ˜ao de part´ıculas `a escala microsc´opica
Someone knows how to avoid this??
Thanks!!
utf8x
useutf8
instead, and don't load theucs
package. But you need to add\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
to get the output characters encoded properly. Or use XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX instead. See utf8x vs. utf8 (inputenc) also fontenc vs inputenc and What is XeTeX exactly and why should I use it?.
