I'm still confused about getting the long suffering Johan's name right on the authors list.

I understood you have changed this so that  'Johan R\u00E5de'. should work.

But it doesn't seem to in the author field. So I am using the UTF-8 file type and inserting char E5 with charmap still.

In the main sections it works fine thus:

Johan R\u00E5de
 Greek \u0396 Zeta
 Math \u00BE for 3/4
\u221E for infinity

producing

Johan RÃ¥de

Greek Ζ Zeta

Math ¾ for 3/4 ∞ for infinity

Am I doing something wrong or do we have to use a UTF file type?  ( should I worry that it causes trouble with SVN?  and text editors?

or is this still a TODO?  ;-)
