Re: tex font problems
Hi Hakan --
You said:
I am having trouble with the latex font, all non normal characters like
\{a}, \aa and so on does not show up in the .dvi file. Has anybody else
moticed this?
As far as I can tell, these are not LaTeX constructions, but TeX constructions.
I made a silly .tex file with these lines:
=begin junk.tex
backslash quote curly-brace a curly-brace is \{a}.
backslash a a is \aa.
\vfill \eject \end
=end junk.tex
Then I ran
tex junk
dvips -o morejunk junk
ghostview morejunk
and the characters showed up just as expected.
You can get an umlaut (Tex \{a}) in LaTeX by using the german option
to the babel package:
\usepackage[german]{babel}
I suspect you can get an Angstrom (Tex \aa) in LaTeX by using the
swedish option. You can use two options at once by giving them as
a comma seperated list:
\usepackage[german,swedish]{babel}
Good luck,
Susan Kleinmann

This is not the reason. Accented characters do work in LaTeX as in
TeX. Actually the following text:
---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\a.
\end{document}
---
does produce an umlaut on the a. The problem may come from the fact that you
use a wrong encoding (eg.: you actually typed a real ä using iso-latin1
and you use a US cmr font instead of using the EURO DC font. In this case,
and if you use LaTeX2e style as above, try using
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}).
So the following text will be Ok (but would'nt w/o the fontenc package).
---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
ä

Hello
Another possibility is that you are trying to use some of the
following commands inside a mathematical formula, without using
\mbox. From Latex - A Doc. prep. system (Lamport, L.,) pg. 38-39:
--- ... The command in Table 3.2 can appear only in paragraphy
and LR modes; use an \mbox command to put one inside a mathematical
formula.
\oe\aa\l ?'
\OE\AA\L !'
\ae\o \ss
\AE\O
Table 3.2

As far as I can tell, these are not LaTeX constructions, but TeX

I made a silly .tex file with these lines:
=begin junk.tex
backslash quote curly-brace a curly-brace is \{a}.
backslash a a is \aa.

Then I ran

and the characters showed up just as expected.
Well, they don't on my instalation :-) I tested just the same. But my junk.log
contains the two lines:
Missing character: There is no ^^e4 in font cmr10!
Missing character: There is no ^^e5 in font cmr10!

hmm, I have no /usr/lib/texmf/fonts/source/public/dc/ directory. But the
status of mfdcfnt is ok installed, Version: 1.0-1. However, I created one
and placed the new fonts there.
fonts/dc/tfm/*
(these files should relplace all files in
/usr/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/dc/)
OK, that directory excisted, so I updated it.
And, now your latex example works just fine (using ISO characters in the latex
file), but Susan G. Kleinmann's junk.tex still wount give me any umlaut
characters.
tex font problems
Hi,
I am having trouble with the latex font, all non normal characters like
\{a}, \aa and so on does not show up in the .dvi file. Has anybody else
moticed this? And maby has a fix for it?
