-<h3>Why bother with <i>inputenc</i> and <i>fontenc</i>?</h3>
-<p/>The standard input encoding for Western Europe (pending the arrival of
-Unicode) is ISO 8859&ndash;1 (commonly known by the standard&rsquo;s
-subtitle &lsquo;Latin-1&rsquo;). Latin-1 is remarkably close, in the codepoints
-it covers, to the (La)TeX T1 encoding.
-<p/>In this circumstance, why should one bother with <i>inputenc</i>
-and <i>fontenc</i>? Since they&rsquo;re pretty exactly mirroring each
-other, one could do away with both, and use just <i>t1enc</i>,
-despite its <a href="FAQ-t1enc.html">shortcomings</a>.
-<p/>One doesn&rsquo;t do this for a variety of small reasons:
-<dl>
-<dt>Confusion<dd> You&rsquo;ve been happily working in this mode, and for
- some reason find you&rsquo;re to switch to writing in German: the effect
- of using &ldquo;<code>&szlig;</code>&rdquo; is somewhat startling, since T1
- and Latin-1 treat the codepoint differently.
-<dt>Compatibility<dd> You find yourself needing to work with a
- colleague in Eastern Europe: their keyboard is likely to be set to
- produce Latin-2, so that the simple mapping doesn&rsquo;t work.
-<dt>Traditional LaTeX<dd> You lapse and write something like
- <code>\&rsquo;</code><code>e</code> rather than typing <code>&eacute;</code>; only <i>fontenc</i>
- has the means to convert this LaTeX sequence into the T1
- character, so an <code>\</code><code>accent</code> primitive slips through into the
- output, and hyphenation is in danger.
-</dl>
-The <i>inputenc</i>&ndash;<i>fontenc</i> combination seems slow and
-cumbersome, but it&rsquo;s safe.
