Let’s start the discussion. We need feedback on this. Pros and Contras of moving on to using lualatex as default compiler.

Pros: - better UTF-8 handling Contras: - people who do not need to customise `org-latex-compiler’ now would have to add (setq-default org-latex-compiler “pdflatex”) Or an equivalent in their org-mode configuration to keep the old behaviour. Speak out, please Best, /PA
