Yes, I misspoke: I should have said LaTeX, not TeX (but there are
versions of TeX that work correctly with UTF-8 - XeTeX and Omega are two
such I think, but I have never used them, so take with the appropriate
grain of salt.) And I'm sure I was being very parochial in my thinking:
inputenc/fontenc != "works fine".

And I'm also sure there are LaTeX packages that mishandle UTF-8, although I
didn't realize that listings is one of them. What are the problems?

But there are probably many pitfalls here that I've never even thought
of.  Can somebody refer me to a concise discussion of the problems
(before *this* discussion becomes even more OT for this list)? I don't
want to wade deep: just to understand what the main problems are.

Thanks,
Nick
