Another question: do beginners need an editor with LaTeX support? I don't think it is wise to recommend a "large", complex editor like TeXnicCenter or Vim to newcomers. Most good programming books take care not to overwhelm newbies with complicated editors or IDEs. Maybe it would be easiest to start with plain Notepad. If they start writing longer documents, they can still switch to a more elaborate editor. > How about TeXworks? > > I know that TeXniccenter does not support Unicode.

Which is barely acceptable given that the last non-Unicode Windows system was released ten years ago. Indeed I think lshort.pdf should not recommend any editor that is not Unicode-enabled. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
