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, any...

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} \u...

⋅ "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 dis...

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 Suma...

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 chart ...

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 characte...

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 pro...

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}\xyba...

Hi all, I'm currently typesetting a linguistics paper. I'm looking for a way to draw 'linking lines' between two arguments in an example sentence in order to show that that they are co-referential. Something similar to the wick contractions provided by the simplewick package, though functioning in t...

After many hours of searching for a solution I accidently stumbled across one while looking for something else.

Load the textcomp package. Use the command \textquotesingle.
