, 14:46, 17 August 2005→Encodings: note about ec encoding (dc/cork/T1/tex256)
Some good choices for encodings are:
* '''texnansi''' for Western European languages with only a small subset of additional accented characters (includes many other important glyphs)
* '''ec''' for European languages with many accented characters (also known as '''cork''')
* '''qx''' as a compromise between the two above, supposed to cover most Central European languages (more accented characters than texnansi and more additional glyphs in comparison to ec)
* '''t5''' for [[Vietnamese]]
''(I hope that the content of this section will soon move to a page on its own with more comprehensive overview of different encodings.)''
=== Search A note about the ec encoding ===Ec encoding is also known under the names '''cork''' or '''T1''' (<code>\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}</code> in LaTeX). Its old version was '''dc''' (should not be used any more). Some of the glyph names in ec are old and deprecated, '''tex256''' uses the same set of glyphs, but the glyph names are compatible with Adobe, see also [ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/fontname/tex256.enc tex256.enc] and [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/aglfn13.txt Adobe Glyph List]. === Searching for non-asci characters in Adobe ===
Some characters (<code>\ccaron</code> - 'č' being of them for example) are not properly recognized by Adobe (especially by older versions) when searching or copying text from PDF documents. In order to help Adobe recognize the glyphs and treat them properly, add this piece of code to your source:
