problems with Icelandic letters

[Galdratommi]

Hi

I was just creating a new work and I used an old premable and copied the sty files and such as well but I get the icelandic letters scrambled as can been seen in the pdf!

What am I doing wrong?

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[fit]{truncate}
\usepackage{color,wrapfig,boxedminipage,caption,graphicx,tipa,mathpazo,fancyhdr,marvosym,stmaryrd,float}

Can you post a MINIMAL example that shows the problem (without all the extra packages and settings)? For example, I notice that you are using the T1 fontenc but not the utf8x inputenc.

The following seems to work:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book} 

\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[english,icelandic]{babel}

\begin{document} 

\selectlanguage{icelandic}

\author {Jón Torfason}

\title {Saga skákiðkunnar á Íslandi}

\maketitle

\end{document}

Check that your editor is correctly set to save the files in UTF-8 encoding.
