Re: "+" & utf-8 characters on file name

[Fredrik Wallberg]

Hi Ming,

someone with more knowledge about Unicode (and Windows) could perhaps
explain why that happens, but since you also asked for a workaround:

Instead of using \bookOutSuffix, you could try with \bookOutputName, like this:

\book {
  \bookOutputName "+中国曲子+"

Which works fine over here (version 2.18, Mac OSX 10.8.4).
