Have you tried using a Unicode string as input? e.g. a = u"é" That works for me, though it stops at the LaTeX step because I'm missing some LaTeX packages. > Is it a bug or a I doing something wrong?

The Tk backend is treating your input string as Latin-1, not UCS, which is the same for codepoints < 255, so you got lucky. There are probably a few of these encoding bugs in various backends that should probably be worked through.
