1 Typesetting non-ASCII characters with TeX
3 TeX can typeset an enormous amount of characters. Historically it uses special
4 TeX commands for individual characters. To directly use Unicode characters
5 instead, the input encoding package of LaTeX can be used. To tell PyX to
6 communicate with LaTeX in a certain character encoding differently from the
7 default ASCII encoding, a `texenc` argument has to be passed to the `text.set`
8 method as shown in the example for the UTF-8 encoding.
