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
