I have a text file with similar lines as this one:



enter image description here



I am using:



usepackage[utf8x]inputenc%
usepackagetextalpha % <--- Greek letters in text


But still the output looks like this:

How can I make it work?



Here is the code

If you want to input a utf-8 encoded text file and just have it mostly work without caring too much what it looks like, then I'd suggest using a combination of



  • a unicode TeX engine (lualatex or xelatex)

  • a monospaced font with wide unicode coverage (e.g., DejaVu Sans Mono)

  • some verbatim environment (e.g., fancyvrb)

MWE



Compile this with xelatex or lualatex. Make sure you have the DejaVu Sans Mono font installed.



You can input a file directly by using VerbatimInputmyfile.txt. Looking at the file you have posted in your question, you'll need to edit it and wrap it to some sensible number of characters. I wrapped it to 70 characters, breaking at spaces to show you what you get. You might be able to do this automatically with some other verbatim environment (e.g., listings), but unicode support with listings can be a bit of a pain in my experience. minted might work but seems like overkill for your purposes.



It's not pretty, but will maybe do what you want.

  • You could modify the font used by Verbatim, it does not have to be monospaced (text will then be justified, which may be good or bad). It is also possible to modify the fontdimen3 and 4 of monospace font to allow text justification.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
