I'm using the media9 package to embed MP3 files into my linguistics thesis.

Is it possible with the draft option of media9 to display <poster text> rather than "a box [...] that has the dimensions of <poster text>"?

A typical example from my thesis is the following, where <poster text> contains ...

Is there's a font or package that would allow me to input a speaker icon, or loudspeaker icon?

At the moment I'm using the picture from this page with the following code to resize it.
\includegraphics[height=1.55ex]{speaker.eps}
But ideally I'd use an actual icon. I've made a pretty through ...

Hello,

This seems like it should be a pretty common problem, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

When I compile a document with the fontenc package ( T1 option) to postscript, the text doesn't display.

Actually, the text does display if I also have mathptmx loaded. Likewise, if I have tipa loaded ...

Hello,

There's a few things going on here so I'll break it down.

I'm trying to do three things:
use a Times font.
typeset phonetic characters using the tipa package (with Times).
typeset Greek (ideally using polutonikogreek with babel ).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc ...

"pifont-PS-PDF.pdf": The above example code compiled LaTeX→DVI→PS→PDF. View the output on your machine.
"pifont-PDF.pdf": The above example directly compiled with PDFLaTeX. View the output on your machine (should be "correct").

Both of these displayed the "correct" dingbats in Adobe Reader on my ...

I always see the "correct" output. And also after I ran the example with different compiling routes, I always get the correct output. You could compare the output by using another viewer like Sumatra PDF (which is preferable when working with TeXnicCenter).

Thanks for putting me onto Sumatra PDF ...

Did you try any other symbols?


Thanks for you reply.

I followed your advice, and tried the full symbol set. All display erroneously in Adobe Reader when I've built the file by selecting TeXnicCenter's LaTeX => PS => PDF option.

The symbols, are similar but not identical. Compare the attached ...

Hi,

Thanks for replying. Each bit of information moves me closer to a solution.

Do you mean that you can't spot a difference in the PDF files that I attached? If so, I've taken a screenshot of what I see in adobe acrobat at 600% resolution. You should see that the difference between the two ...

Hello,

I have a Miktex distribution and my editor is TeXnicCenter.

When I compile the given code using TeXnicCenter's "LaTeX => PDF" option, everything displays as expected.

However, when I compile the code using TeXnicCenter's "LaTeX => PS => PDF" option, the pifont dingbats produced are ...

A partial solution to this problem is to load the xytree package as in the following code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{covington, xytree}

\begin{document}

\begin{example}
\xytext{\xybarnode{Alfred}\xybarconnect[2][-](D,D){4} & \xybarnode{described} & \xybarnode{Bob ...
