--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive-lang-arabic Version: 2016.20170123-5 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, using the "arabic" option for the Babel package results problems in accessing the Greek small letter omega: In mathematical mode: The macro $\omega$ fails In text mode: The macro \textomega and the Unicode character ω fail. * What led up to the situation? Using math and Arabic in one document. Trying to combine Greek and Arabic in one document. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Minimal failing example: \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage[greek,arabic,english]{babel} \begin{document} Greek omega LICR: \ensuregreek{\textomega} Greek omega in maths: $\omega$ \end{document} * What was the outcome of this action? No omega letter in the output. Error ! Argument of \textomega has an extra }. <inserted text> \par l.7 Greek omega LICR: \ensuregreek{\textomega} and warning LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/aromega/m/n' undefined (Font) using `OT1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 9. * What outcome did you expect instead? No errors, correct output with omega in text and math. * What is the reason: The contributed babel language file "arabic.ldf" loads "arabicfnt.sty" to set up font loading/switching commands. "arabicfnt.sty" contains the lines: \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textomega}{\fontfamily{aromega}\selectfont} \DeclareRobustCommand{\omega}{\fontfamily{aromega}\selectfont} that redefine the LaTeX internal character representation (LICR) macros with font selecting commands. * Workarounds: For Greek, it suffices to change the order of the Babel arguments. \usepackage[arabic,greek,english]{babel} More secure is an explicite re-re-definition, e.g. \documentclass[a4paper]{article} % save original \omega \let\mathomega\omega \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[LAE,LGR,T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[arabic,greek,english]{babel} % fix rogue arabtex commands: \DeclareTextSymbol{\textomega}{LGR}{119} \renewcommand{\omega}{\mathomega} \usepackage{lmodern} \begin{document} Greek omega LICR: \ensuregreek{\textomega} Greek omega literal: \ensuregreek{ω} Greek omega in maths: $\omega$ \end{document} -- Package-specific info: IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of the original .sty file, or any other help resource. In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors, will be closed immediately. *** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk *** If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Please run your example with (pdf)latex -recorder ... (or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in your home directory. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further.
