0006 This manual was originally translated from LATEX.HLP v1.0a in the
0007 VMS Help Library.  The pre-translation version was written by
0008 George D. Greenwade of Sam Houston State University.  The
0009 LaTeX 2.09 version was written by Stephen Gilmore.  The
0010 LaTeX2e version was adapted from this by Torsten Martinsen.  Karl
0011 Berry made further updates and additions, and gratefully acknowledges
0012 using Hypertext Help with LaTeX, by Sheldon Green, and
0013 LaTeX Command Summary (for LaTeX 2.09) by

0015 Group as TeXniques number 10), as reference material.  We also
0016 gratefully acknowledge additional material appearing in

0128 <p>Synopsis:
0129 </p>
0130 <div class="example">
0131 <pre class="example">\usepackage[<var>font_encoding</var>]{fontenc}
0132 </pre></div>
0133 
0134 <p>or
0135 </p>
0136 <div class="example">
0137 <pre class="example">\usepackage[<var>font_encoding1</var>, <var>font_encoding2</var>, ...]{fontenc}
0138 </pre></div>
0139 
0140 <p>Specify the font encodings.  A font encoding is a mapping of the
0141 character codes to the font glyphs that are used to typeset your output.
0142 </p>
0143 <p>This package only applies if you use the <code>pdflatex</code> engine
0144 (see <a href="TeX-engines.html#TeX-engines">TeX engines</a>).  If you use the <code>xelatex</code> or
0145 <code>lualatex</code> engine then instead use the <samp>fontspec</samp> package.
0146 </p>
0147 <p>TeX&rsquo;s original font family, Computer Modern, has a limited character
0148 set. For instance, to make common accented characters you must use
0149 <code>\accent</code> (see <a href="_005caccent.html#g_t_005caccent">\accent</a>) but this disables hyphenation.  TeX
0150 users have agreed on a number of standards to access the larger sets of
0151 characters provided by modern fonts.  If you are using
0152 <code>pdflatex</code> then this in the preamble
0153 </p>
0154 <div class="example">
0155 <pre class="example">\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
0156 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  % Optional: encoding of input file
0157 </pre></div>
0158 
0159 <p>gives you support for the most widespread European languages, including
0160 French, German, Italian, Polish, and others.  In particular, if you have
0161 words with accented letters then LaTeX will hyphenate them and your
0162 output can be copied and pasted.  (The optional second line allows you
0163 to directly enter accented characters into your source file.)
0164 </p>
0165 <a name="index-package_002c-lmodern"></a>
0166 <a name="index-lmodern-package"></a>
0167 <a name="index-package_002c-cm_002dsuper"></a>
0168 <a name="index-cm_002dsuper-package"></a>
0169 
0170 <p>If you are using an encoding such as <code>T1</code> and the characters appear
0171 blurry or do not magnify well then your fonts may be bitmapped,
0172 sometimes called raster or Type&nbsp;3.  You want vector fonts.  Use a
0173 package such as <samp>lmodern</samp> or <samp>cm-super</samp> to get a font that
0174 extends LaTeX&rsquo;s default using vector fonts.
0175 </p>
0176 <p>For each <var>font_encoding</var> given as an option but not already
0177 declared, this package loads the encoding definition files, named
0178 <samp><var>font_encoding</var>enc.def</samp>.  It also sets <code>\encodingdefault</code>
0179 to be the last encoding in the option list.
0180 </p>
0181 <p>These are the common values for <var>font_encoding</var>.
0182 </p>
0183 <dl compact="compact">
0184 <dt><code>OT1</code></dt>
0185 <dd><p>The original encoding for TeX.  Limited to mostly English characters.
0186 </p>
0187 </dd>
0188 <dt><code>OMS, OML</code></dt>
0189 <dd><p>Math symbols and math letters encoding.
0190 </p>
0191 </dd>
0192 <dt><code>T1</code></dt>
0193 <dd><p>TeX text extended.  Sometimes called the Cork encoding for the Users
0194 Group meeting where it was developed.  Gives access to most European
0195 accented characters.  The most common option for this package.
0196 </p>
0197 </dd>
0198 <dt><code>TS1</code></dt>
0199 <dd><p>Text Companion encoding.
0200 </p></dd>
0201 </dl>
0202 
0203 <p>LaTeX&rsquo;s default is to load <code>OML</code>, <code>T1</code>, <code>OT1</code>, and
0204 then <code>OMS</code>, and set the default to <code>OT1</code>.
0205 </p>
0206 <p>Even if you do not use accented letters, you may need to specify a font
0207 encoding if your font requires it.
0208 </p>
0209 <p>If you use <code>T1</code>&nbsp;encoded fonts other than the default Computer
0210 Modern family then you may need to load the package that selects your
0211 fonts before loading <samp>fontenc</samp>, to prevent the system from loading
0212 any <code>T1</code>&nbsp;encoded fonts from the default.
0213 </p>
0214 <p>The LaTeX team reserve encoding names starting with: &lsquo;<samp>T</samp>&rsquo; for the
0215 standard text encodings with 256 characters, &lsquo;<samp>TS</samp>&rsquo; for symbols that
0216 extend the corresponding T encodings, &lsquo;<samp>X</samp>&rsquo; for test encodings,
0217 &lsquo;<samp>M</samp>&rsquo; for standard math encodings with 256 characters, &lsquo;<samp>A</samp>&rsquo; for
0218 special applications, &lsquo;<samp>OT</samp>&rsquo; for standard text encodings with 128
0219 characters, and &lsquo;<samp>OM</samp>&rsquo; for standard math encodings with 128
0220 characters (&lsquo;<samp>O</samp>&rsquo; stands for &lsquo;<samp>obsolete</samp>&rsquo;).
0221 </p>
0222 <p>This package provides a number of commands, detailed below.  Many of
0223 them are encoding-specific, so if you have defined a command that works
0224 for one encoding but the current encoding is different then the command
0225 is not in effect.
