I am using LuaLaTeX and biblatex
which the biblatex
manual says should be able to compile utf
. At the bottom of this message is a minimal non-working example. In the final PDF it just deletes all the accented characters. I can go in and manually correct the .bbl
file (replacing è
with \'e
and ö = \"o
) but this isn't an ideal solution.
The errors I get when running BibTeX (with biber
of course as the default engine) are
INFO - This is Biber 1.5 INFO - Logfile is 'Biblatex.blg' INFO - Reading 'Biblatex.bcf' INFO - Found 3 citekeys in bib section 0 INFO - Processing section 0 INFO - Looking for bibtex format file 'Biblatex.bib' for section 0 INFO - Decoding LaTeX character macros into UTF-8 INFO - Found BibTeX data source 'Biblatex.bib' INFO - Overriding locale 'en_US.UTF-8' default tailoring 'level = 4' with 'level = 2' INFO - Overriding locale 'en_US.UTF-8' default tailoring 'variable = shifted' with 'variable = non-ignorable' INFO - Sorting 'entry' list 'cms' keys INFO - No sort tailoring available for locale 'en_US.UTF-8' INFO - Writing 'Biblatex.bbl' with encoding 'UTF-8' INFO - Output to Biblatex.bbl
Then in LuaLaTeX I get this error:
l.50 ...le sentence ~\citep[1666]{Loschel:2010dn}. ./Biblatex.tex:50: Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined (inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'.

If you make the following changes (and stick with
biber
), everything should work out just fine:With
fontspec
you have a lot more font options anyway. I recommend typingtexdoc fontspec
at a terminal prompt (assuming you use TeX Live and aren't stuck on Windows).An easy way to make your file compilable by either
latex
/pdflatex
orlualatex
would be (assuming no other packages are determining what you can or can't do):Something similar could be done with the package
ifxetex
....
