auto-multiple-choice latex compilation

[cherbfred@…]

I am trying to compile the example latex file in the documentation, but I get the following error : Package ucs Error: Unknown Unicode character 65532 = U+FFFC, possibly declared in uni-255.def.

When I type H to get some help, I get "Unicode character 65532 = U+FFFC: OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER Character is not defined in uni-*.def files".

I am using TeXWorks on a new iMac, where I have installed automultiplechoice using MacPorts. Do I need to install something more to avoid getting that error message ?

Best,

F.

test file from the pdf documentation of automultiplechoice

Modified test LaTeX file, with strange utf-8 characters removed

It seems that the essai-en.tex file contains strange UTF-8 characters, I don't know why. Please try with essai-en2.tex.

I tested the file essai-en.tex after having changed the line

\usepackage[box,completemulti]{/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/tex/latex/automultiplechoice}

with

\usepackage[box,completemulti]{automultiplechoice}

and got the same unicode error.

A similar test with the file essai-en2.tex show no error and the file is correctly processed.

I think that this ticket should be closed.
