Howdy, I got the following out put from the console when compiling a xelatex file: (./utf8accents.sty *** did you really mean 'n ? *** ) And the only place I can find that combination is in the line \DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0149}{'n} In the latest utf8accents.sty file. Good Luck, Herb Schulz (herbs at wideopenwest.com)
