Hello,

I'm very new to LaTeX and I'd appreciate if anyone could give me a tip on
the following problem: I'm trying to write text in Icelandic, the special
characters of which are included in Latin-1. However, using a command such
as \dh results in the following error:

! LaTeX Error: Command \dh unavailable in encoding OT1.

So, what encoding do I need, and how do I switch to it? I'm feeling a bit
lost in the documentation (tetex under SuSE 6.4). Thanks!

David.

T1 encoding:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
