Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ The Comprehensive Symbol List

[fayez]

Hello,

I really don't understand why some symbols don't work or appear using and looking at the comprehensive symbol list.

For example table 228, I used the package "milstd", but the symbols don't appear on another case table 316, the symbols don't appear either.

I am using TeXworks and it is fully updated. Any help ?

What distribution are you using?
Could you provide us with an MWE?

Well, in some distributions the packages come with other packages, meaning the depend on other packages. For example, recently I installed TeX Live under Ubuntu and for using acronym, I had to install bigfoot instead of 'acronym' like I used to under Windows' MikTeX.
