General ⇒ Compatibility (lettrine.sty and go.sty)

[NinV]

Hi,

I have to include a go diagram in a document written by an other man, but testing the inclusion I found that the go.sty in incompatible with lettrine.sty: all the text outside
\textbf or \textit is ignored!

Can you help me to understand where is the problem?

Code: Select all

Thank you very much

Hi Nino,

you could try \normalfont:

Code: Select all

\lettrine[lines=3]{\textbf{T}}{his time}\normalfont\ text ...

Hi, Stefan!

Thank you!

It works for all the following text, but before the \lettrine command appears a cross (one of the new defined fonts for the go diagram).

Besides that, as you know, I was working on the go.sty to get a bao.sty. I succeeded!

When I tried to use it in the posted code I got that strange result.

I could say to the 'editor' to use \normalfont, but it would be very annoying. So it would be better to understand why \lettrine is incompatible with go.sty and to try to change go.sty (i.e. bao.sty) accordingly.

Unfortunately my knowledge of LaTex isn't enough

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot,
Nino

There's another problem!

The cross which appears before the big red T, created by lettrine, appears also at the left bottom corner of any inserted picture!

Ex:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htbp]
	\centering
		\includegraphics[scale=.50]{Kiba.eps}
\end{figure}

As you could see in the attached file.

Thanks,
Nino
