 I think that the first one is better, though its problem is that,
 being done by a filter (hence, on the user-side), sharing an Org file is
 not easy anymore (without sharing the filter to be added to the
 personal .emacs file).

 Awesome. Thank you, Sebastien.

 I prefer the second solution, because it allows me to account for
 different kinds of spaces: espace fine, espace insécable, espace
 moyenne, etc.

 Just for curiosity: I’m not sure what to make of the regexp. The ‘?’
 is normally a postfix operator used in conjunction with other
 characters, isn’t it? As it is, it seems to target question marks
 instead of blank spaces. What am I missing?

It seems to be a character encoding problem: it was supposed to be
a real nbsp char (00A0, IIRC).

It's clearly NOT intended to be a ?.  I don't know how this got badly
converted in these posts.

Best regards,
  Seb

 I understand that org-latex derives the encoding from the buffer. 
 In the .tex? file produced by the exporter, I see this line:
 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 
 However, I would like to set it to:
 \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
 
 I need to account for special French spacing characters: ?espaces 
 ins?cables. 
 
 Old tricks to achieve this with previous org-mode versions don?t seem to 
 work. 
 What is the best way to export an org buffer and have it set to utf8x with 
 the latest org-mode version?
