Hi, I recently tried to play with linuxdoc and utf-8 documents and run into the same problem, onsgmls: ... 01.precmdout:1559:71:E: non SGML character number 141 This time I was lucky and a web search pointed me to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66179. After that suggestion, SP_CHARSET_FIXED=yes SP_ENCODING=xml sgml2html FAQ-CervanTeX-utf8.sgml made that messages disappear with opensp. I am including that in linuxdoc-tools as part of preliminary utf-8 support and may be of help here. > > > Interestingly, some characters (like "ü") are accepted without > > > problems while others (Ü,ß) yield the above errors. May be it complains only about one part of the multi-byte representation, not present in lowercase characters. -- Agustin
