And ghosts...Perhaps Ronald is looking at the dvi file with GhostView or
another program that can display dvi's (I think I recall an Xdvi?) to
your terminal. Like you, Ronald, I'm a beginner with tex (I use LaTex
and LyX).
Is the A umlaut being printed when you convert the file to postcript or
pdf for printing?
Maybe your choice of fonts is driving the problem? I think that gv will
try to approximate fonts that it doesn't have with the closest available
font in the same family. This can produce miserable looking results from a
perfectly good tex file. I know some PDF's I've created were barely
readable with a stock Acrobat reader - fuzzy at any resolution. But when I
changed to a different font the text was crisp. Your problem is
different, I know. But maybe there is a similar cause.
Finally, a stray thought that may be useful in answering the question. Is
the the problem in the middle of plain text? Or is it in a part of a
formula?
Maybe there is an expert out there. Otherwise, off you go to one of the
tex mailing lists...
