[texhax] hyperref bookmarks problem

[Jesús Guillermo Andrade]

Hi Susan: At first I thought it might have something to do with the  
absence of support for the expected character from the font, but that  
is not the case. Libertine fonts do have support for a very wide set  
of characters and at least, the spanish ones Im using, are fully  
supported.
Your assumption regading the encoding sounds right to me. However, I  
just can't seem to find the prick that might be lurking below that is  
transforming the original encoding of the bookmark titles when  
hypperef begins eating them.


Strange....
