I have experienced problems with the following
- Polyglossia
- xelatex
- fontspec
does not recognize accented letters in french
i'm using Texniccenter as editor of tex with the latest update to my MIKTEX
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{arabic}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.2]{Scheherazade}
\newcommand{\setcontext}[2]{\setcounter{chapter}{#1}\setcounter{section}{#2}}
\newcommand{\diff}{\mathop{}\mathopen{}\mathrm{d}}
%\frenchbsetup{StandardLists=true}
\newtheoremstyle{examplestyle}{10mm}{10mm}{\slshape}{2pt}{\bfseries}{}{\newline}{}
\theoremstyle{examplestyle}
\makeatletter
\newcounter{descriptcount}
\newlist{enumdescript}{description}{2}
\setlist[enumdescript,1]{%
before={\setcounter{descriptcount}{0}%
\renewcommand*\thedescriptcount{\Roman{descriptcount}}}
,font=\bfseries\stepcounter{descriptcount}\thedescriptcount~
}
\setlist[enumdescript,2]{%
before={\setcounter{descriptcount}{0}%
\renewcommand*\thedescriptcount{\alph{descriptcount}}}
,font=\bfseries\stepcounter{descriptcount}\thedescriptcount~
}
\begin{document}
un âne, la grêle, un traîneau, un symptôme, une mûre
\begin{enumdescript}
\item [L'accent aigu]

\begin{itemize}[font=\color{magenta} , label=\ding{59}]
\item amitié - tenacité - prévenir - médecin;

This kind of problems generally comes from the fact that the LaTeX editor is not configured to the suitable input encoding. In this peculiar case (a XeLaTeX file, and XeTeX interpreting the input as UTF-8 by default), it means that the editor must be configured to UTF8-Unicode input encoding.
