[OS X TeX] Encoding problem with TexShop 3.5.9 and 3.6.0

[Rolf Schmolling]

Hi Dick,

that is very helpful and interesting! So I did select the right encoding in the preference tab (check 1) 

Through some trial and error I got these starting lines for my preamble:

%!TEX TS-program = pdflatex
%!TEX encoding = MacOSRoman

\documentclass[DIV=calc,fontsize=10pt, paper=a4, enlargefirstpage,%DINmtext
%,BCOR=1cm
]{scrlttr2}
\KOMAoptions{
fromalign=right,%Ausrichtung des Absenderbriefkopfes
fromphone=true,%Eigene Telefonnummer im Briefkopf
fromurl=true,%Homepageadresse im Briefkopf
fromemail=true,%Eigene E-Mailadresse im Briefkopf
%parskip=half, %für Absätze ohne Ersteinzug aber 1/3 Zeile Absatzabstand
fromrule=aftername%für unter dem Absendernamen, alternativ: true,für Linie unter dem Absenderbriefkopf
}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Looks alright to you?

The different names for settings are indeed quite confusing for my humble self (say: [applemac]{inputenc} and encoding = MacOSRoman)

Now I have to re-read the new helpfile on encodings and try to wrap my mind around it. 

Hopefully all questions are resolved, then.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards and a nice weekend

Rolf
