Can you be more specific about where the output occurs? I believe @dfn outputs double quotes while the em dash comes from "---", but what do you mean by a "few other things"? The options Patrice mentioned in his email fulfil your initial request but now you're asking for something else. If you remove "@documentencoding UTF-8" from a file, the file is still assumed to be in UTF-8, but less Unicode is used in the output where it is not necessary. Does that help?
