Math & Science ⇒ mathptmx | '\bar' in Math Equations

[liannelli]

Hi to all, here is my problem:

I compile the following document on a Mac OS X Lion platform with TeXLive 2011.

Code: Select all

%!TEX TS-program = latex
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mathptmx}
% \usepackage{txfonts}
% \usepackage{lmodern}

\begin{document}
  \begin{equation}
    \dot{\bar{x}}\in F_{\delta}(\bar{x},w), \qquad (\bar{x},w)\in C_{\delta},
  \end{equation}
	
\end{document}

I use the commands:
latex main.tex
dvips -Ppdf -G0 main.dvi -o main.ps
ps2pdf main.ps

The pdf file I got does not show the \bar{x} if viewed through Preview.app or Skim.app.

Preview.png (3.41 KiB) Viewed 3023 times

Instead the pdf file is correctly displayed by Adobe Reader for Mac.

If I use txfonts or lmodern instead of mathptmx, evrything works.
Do you have some ideas?

Many thanks,

Luigi

This is PDF viewer specific. Everything looks fine with Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, Sumatra PDF, Evince Document Viewer (on Windows XP).

You can also try compiling the pdf directly: pdflatex main.tex

yes, the problem is that in my document I need to compile through latex+dvips+ps2pdf (required by the publisher). I also discovered that the command

Code: Select all

dvips -Pdownload35 main.dvi -o main.ps

gives me the correct accent bar in Preview.app and Skim.app but in my full document some other bad things happen with some EPS figures.

Anyway I think I solved the problem. If I use the switch -dPDFX, ps2pdf generates a PDF that works both with adobe reader and preview (or skim).


Thanks
