Re: French acccents

[Patrick Schmidt]

Hm, strange that you can't use the Special Characters. I can't think of any 
reason why it shouldn't work. I can use it without any problems.

Anyway: Are you sure that the encoding is UTF-8? Close TeXShop, open it again 
and check Preferences. In the case of »é« I think you are using the wrong 
character. When I type in »'e« (apostrophe e) than I get »'e«. You have to use 
the acute accent »´« (unfortunately I don't know where or whether you can find 
it on your keyboard. Look here:

Hope that helps,
Patrick
