I'm completely new here, and trying LaTeX to write my PhD dissertation (in the humanities, mind you!). I have to write in several languages, and especially French. It is therefore much easier to type the French characters directly on the keyboard. I have a mac with OS 10.8.5. I used the tip given here on the Tex stack exchange (\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}) and it worked really fine. But, now it suddenly does not work any more without me touching anything when I run it in PDF. I set the following in my configuration:

\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}             

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{fontspec}
 \usepackage{polyglossia}       

 \setdefaultlanguage[british,ordinalmonthday=true]{english}
 \setotherlanguage[spelling=old,latesthyphen=true,babelshorthands=true]{german}
 \setotherlanguage{french}
 \setotherlanguage{italian}
 \usepackage{xspace}

\usepackage[style=british,autostyle=true,strict=true,english=british,autopunct=true,parthreshold=true,german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\setquotestyle{british}
\SetBlockThreshold{3}

Never use inputenc with xetex or luatex (which you must be using as you use fontspec Just make sure that you save your file in utf-8 and the characters will work. – David Carlisle Oct 10 '13 at 17:39

@DavidCarlisle why don't you write an answer up? :) – Mario S. E. Oct 10 '13 at 21:18
@MarioS.E. I was looking for a duplicate question – David Carlisle Oct 10 '13 at 21:38
Thank you very much. Getting rid of the inputenc command has fixed the issue. – Frank Ejby Poulsen Oct 17 '13 at 10:41
@DavidCarlisle Do you have a dupe in mind/at hand? – Johannes_B Mar 10 '15 at 22:39
