Dear Dr. william,

I check out the latest version of latexdaemon and compile it. Then I find
that it doesn't work when the tex file is located under a path which
contain chinese characters.

Any hints on this issue?

Best regards.

Hongyi.

It appears that pdftex (from miktex 2.9) won't work on files under a path containing characters that are not supported by the current locale. At least on my Windows XP.

So if Windows is set to an English locale (and not Chinese), and the path to the file (but not the file name) contains Chinese characters, a pdftex will complain that it cannot find the file. (Even when using relative paths!)

Miktex's pdftex probably doesn't support unicode / wide paths.
