Hello Good people of Emacs! I'm having trouble exporting unicode math symbols from buffer (org-mode) to pdf file. **1. Problem Description:** Symbols are inserted to the buffer as unicode characters (via [TEX input method][1] or [company-math][2]) Here is source code demonstration: #+TITLE: Unicode characters export test #+AUThor: #+date: Unicode characters: ℝ ℤ ℕ ⇒ ∈ ∀ Same symbols in latex format: $$\Bbb{R} \Bbb{Z} \Bbb{N} \Rightarrow \in \forall$$ Produced .tex file includes unicode symbols: % Created 2016-03-04 Pá 21:01 \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{fixltx2e} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{float} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{rotating} \usepackage[normalem]{ulem} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{marvosym} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{hyperref} \tolerance=1000 \date{} \title{Unicode characters export test} \hypersetup{ pdfkeywords={}, pdfsubject={}, pdfcreator={Emacs 24.4.1 (Org mode 8.2.10)}} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents Unicode characters: ℝ ℤ ℕ ⇒ ∈ ∀ Same symbols in latex format: $$\Bbb{R} \Bbb{Z} \Bbb{N} \Rightarrow \in \forall$$ % Emacs 24.4.1 (Org mode 8.2.10) \end{document} Pdf file does not : [![enter image description here][3]][3] **2. Things I have tried so far:** **Xelatex and unicode-math:** This is included in answer from Rasmus. Here I have to admit: I'm not using development version of org-mode he's mentioning. (failed to install it) I've tried xelatex adn unicode-math anyway. My version of Org mode is 8.2.10. #+latex_compiler: xelatex #+latex_header: \usepackage{libertine} #+latex_header: \usepackage{unicode-math} Including this in file introduces not so lovely message instead pdf file. > org-latex-compile: PDF file ./unicode_export_test.pdf wasn't produced: > [package error] I have checked for correct unicode-math installation: ~ $ kpsewhich unicode-math.sty /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/unicode-math/unicode-math.sty Installation of Xelatex is the newest version: ~ $ sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done texlive-xetex is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 16 not upgraded. I have failed to install development version of org-mode. Following [How do I keep current with bleeding edge development? - tutorial][4] I have been able (I think) download it and compile it. Since I have no idea how to tell to Emacs run this version, Emacs runs Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/org/). I have tried to add following lines to my config. (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/lisp")) (remove 'load-path (expand-file-name "/usr/local/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/org/")) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode)) (require 'org) Without pleasing result. **3. Question: How to export unicode characters from org-mode to pdf?** - Do I have to configure some org-mode variable? - Compile with different Latex interpreter? - Any other ideas? - If development version fixes this.... How can I install it?
