I'm using pgfplotstable to render CSV-files as tables in my document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

\begin{document}
ÄÖÜ!
\pgfplotstabletypeset[col sep=comma, header=has colnames, verb string type]{test.csv}
\end{document}

That's working perfectly, until there are special characters in the external file. They cause errors in the first line, and are simply ignored in the following lines.

Here's my test.csv, which is encoded as UTF-8:

h1,öüä
d1,äöü

How can I make sure these characters render correctly?

It works for me if I add \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and use string type instead of verb string type – Jake Aug 08 '13 at 14:57
I can confirm that. Since fontenc seems to have additional benefits, I'll look into using that. – fefrei Aug 08 '13 at 15:08
I really need verb. Any way to make it work with that? – fefrei Aug 08 '13 at 15:11
Could you give an example of the kind of stuff that will be in your table that needs verb? – Jake Aug 08 '13 at 15:15
Mostly e-mail-addresses containing _, probably some other reserved characters. – fefrei Aug 08 '13 at 15:18
Email addresses and umlauts in the same column? – Jake Aug 08 '13 at 15:22
