<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I would like to know why my TeX (not LaTeX) code don't work with PdfTeX. It seams to work fine with XeTeX and LuaTeX.</p>
<p>My environement is TeXWorks setup with UTF-8 encoding.</p>
<p>the char é don't appear with PdfTeX. How to solve that using PdfTeX in TeX mode (not LaTeX) ?</p>
<p>My code:
