Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ About characters < and >

[cidmi.dovic]

Hi,

I am using these configuration inputs
\RequirePackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage[spanish,activeacute]{babel}
and when I put on my text the caharacters < and > after the compilation latex changes them for ¡ and ¿ respectively.

Any idea?, is there a possible way to force a character via ascii code or something like that.

thanks in advance.

It is essential to know exactly what you are doing. Therefore we need a minimal working example (MWE) [1]. These characters are nothing special thus should not cause trouble.

And by the way, the \RequirePackage command is for use in document classes or packages. For documents there is the \usepackage command.

thank you

solved using
\RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}
\RequirePackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage[spanish,activeacute]{babel}

yes it is a documment class.

The problem is that using T1 fontenc the quality of the output is worse.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

In that case use a font that supports T1 encoding. For instance the high quality Latin Modern font designed to be the successor of the standard fonts:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{lmodern}

Or, install the cm-super package containing the standard Computer Modern font in T1 encoding. In that case there's no change needed in your document.

try

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathpazo}

or as an alternative

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage{libertine}
