Text Formatting ⇒ Text Font Family Specification in Index

[tedc]

I'm trying to create an index that preserves the font families used in the body of the document. For example, the keyword AlphaClass appears in Typewriter in the body of the document, and the corresponding entries in the index should be

Code: Select all

AlphaClass, 20
  parameters, 25

where AlphaClass is in Typewriter and parameters is in Roman.
\index{AlphaClass@texttt{AlphaClass}}
generates the entry for page 20, and
\index{AlphaClass@texttt{AlphaClass}!parameters}
generates the entry for page 25.
BUT the index looks like this:

Code: Select all

AlphaClass, 20
AlphaClass
  parameters, 25

Both "AlphaClass"es are in Typewriter, and "parameters" is in Roman, but sorting is not correct. How can I fix this?

The following works fine for me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{makeidx}

\makeindex

\begin{document}
AlphaClass\index{AlphaClass@\texttt{AlphaClass}}.

\newpage
AlphaClass parameters\index{AlphaClass@\texttt{AlphaClass}!parameters}.

\printindex
\end{document}

Can you produce a minimal example that reproduces the problem?
