OK, I might have found a pattern....
I've used a list of symbols found here:
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/mirrors/ctan/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf
And I tried to build a card with symbols from various tables, some
requiring special packages, other not. Here is what I found out (in
capital):
Body-text symbols:
t1: <$>\&</$> OK
t2: <$>\textquestiondown</$> OK
t3: <$>\dag</$> OK
t4 (AMS math & text): <$>\maltese</$> VOID
t5: <$>\aa</$> OK
& requiring fontenc package: <$>\dh</$> VOID
t6 (fc): <$>\m{G}</$> SHOWS BOLD G
t7 (vntex): <$>\UHORN</$> VOID
t9 (pifont) <$>\ding{125}</$> SHOWS BOLD 125
t10 (tipa): <$>\textbullseye</$> SHOWS BOLD textbullseye
t18: <$>\"{A}</$> OK
& requiring vntex <$>\h{A}</$> SHOWS BOLD A
t29 textcomp: <$>\textlira</$> VOID
Math symbols:
t40: <$>\oplus</$> OK
& requiring some package <$>\lhd</$> VOID
and <$>unrhd</$> SHOWS BOLD unhrd
t41 AMS: <$>\boxminus</$> VOID
t42 stmaryd: <$>\varocircle</$> VOID
So in short every symbol requiring a special package fails, showing
either nothing at all or defaulting to simply bold, capitalized
letters.
So my guess is that MiKTeX is not able to dl the right packages on the
fly.
So I exited Mnemosyne, cleaned up the LaTeX directory, then went into
TeXworks and entered the above (with the requested changes to the
syntax, i.e, no $ for text symbols), and used the \usepackage{}
command in the preamble to dl all the needed packages. That worked
fine within TeXwork & produced the right pdf output.
Then I opened Mnemosyme, closed it, went into the directory, and
edited the preamble to add all the same packages, then re-opened
Mnemosyne and reopened the card.
I got a few additional symbols, but not all, and new issues of some
symbols that appear on top of each others...
So I tried something else, and replaced \usepackage{amssymb} with
\usepackage{amsfonts}. I can now finally see the blackboard bold "B =
sets of bits" card. Sigh...
So it seems that Mnemosyne deals better with some packages than
others. Is that something that it known? Did I miss something on how
to install the right packages for LaTeX within Mnemosyne?
Thanks,
JD
