Thanks again, Richard. I thought the XeTeX/LuaTeX suggestion would involve an additional compiling step. I see that it does not. Both compile, but instead of giving error messages they substitute weird characters for the problemmatic characters, e.g., an em-dash becomes âĂT. Sometimes it does the same for en-dashes, sometimes not. Sometimes with the apostrophe, sometimes not. Also with accented characters. The file I'm working on is not that complicated: 12 pages with bibliography and footnotes; title, author, and section headings formatted KOMA-Script default. Assuming that the problem is Unicode characters, I'm also gonna check with the Scrivener forum to see if there's a way to stop that.
