Letters inside circle

Post by chief_officer »

Hello,

I have to put letters "un" as in the picture. Is it possible to put these in a circle so that it scales with the fonts? I mean something like:

Code: Select all

\circle[u \\ n] 
[ok, I know the code above is funny, but I'm trying to express myself]. I know I can make an image and put it in the text but it will look awkward and destroy the paragraph spacing.

Can you pros give me a helping hand?

Thanks.

PS: Cross-post. I have posted this to CQF but the answer did not work out.

This what I want to get. I want to use it inside the text, so a picture environment will not do.

Try a graphics package like pgf/tikZ or pstricks. From the latter one I know that there is a command that might do the trick.

Code: Select all

\pscirclebox*[par]{stuff}
The manuals have more information. But I think that interline spacing always will be distorted.

It is a matter politeness to post an answer there [1]. The same is true for this forum. Otherwise it may become harder to get help next time.
