I found the problem. For some reason the file was being saved as the wrong encoding.
Problem was fixed by: iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 ./invoice.tex > ./invoice2.tex I am still having trouble getting xeLaTeX to play well with Perl's Template::Latex module but I'm afraid that's beyond the scope of this list :-) Best Wishes, Chris Travers -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
