Hi,

can't seem to get the icelandic/oldnorse thorn character by just
typing a thorn or using \th ... TeXnicCenter returns the following:

! LaTeX Error: Command \th unavailable in encoding OT1

I use inputenc with encoding latin1 but to no avail. I can however use
the TIPA command but that font is slightly different from the rest of
my text so I prefer not to use it.

thanks in advance

Sander

Don't confuse input and output.

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Thanks! That worked perfectly. Still clueless as to why but I'll look
it up on the internets some day. Thanks for your help!
