Text Formatting ⇒ C# notation

[krislodz]

Hello,

Is there any sign that is similar to the C# sign from for example here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(p ... _language)

I used both \# and $\sharp$ and they do not resemble the original.

What the \sharp sign looks like depends on the font. Try, e.g.:

\usepackage{arev}

as in:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{arev}
\begin{document}
C$\sharp$
\end{document}

Is there a particular font you want?

This solution does not make the document look good. Its strange that there is no similar sign in the list of symbols.

It wasn't meant to be a solution; just a demonstration that what the sign looks like depends on the font used. That’s why I followed it up with asking what font you wanted. If you wanted the sharp from arev with standard Computer/Latin modern fonts, you could do:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
% define \mysharp using the arev package
\usepackage{arev}
\newsavebox{\sharpbox}
\sbox{\sharpbox}{$\sharp$}
\newcommand{\mysharp}{\usebox{\sharpbox}}

% switch back to Latin Modern
\usepackage{lmodern}

\begin{document}
C\mysharp
\end{document}

I use sans serif font for this document. I got an error "Corrupted NFSS tables" when I use this example.
