In the org-mode LaTeX-export the fontenc package is loaded by default with the T1 option. Since my document contains a few characters like ȩ or ĭ which are not contained in T1 I would like to load additional font encodings.

Which variables do I have to change in order to achieve this? Ideally I would like to do this in a local variable.

In addition, is there a way to guarantee that fontenc is loaded before inputenc?

The default list of packages is stored in org-latex-default-packages-alist:

Alist of default packages to be inserted in the header.

Change this only if one of the packages here causes an incompatibility with another package you are using.

Each element of this list is a triple ("options" "package" SNIPPET-FLAG). As you've seen, the entry for fontenc is ("T1" "fontenc" t) and it is loaded after inputenc.

You can reorder and change the options by customizing this variable. Parts of org-mode make assumptions about what packages get loaded, so it's probably a bad ideal to remove anything from this list.

  • This requires that we re-define the variable, which is not ideal (for example, if some packages we install later "touch" the variable, then our changes will override theirs). Is there a way to affect the options of a particular package in that list without affecting other packages in the list?

    You can change the variable without just overwriting it. You could, for example use remove-if to delete only a single entry.
