Page Layout ⇒ Problem with Roman Page Numbering

[PaX]

I make this code.. (this is a example...)

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish] {babel}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{array,multirow,tabulary} 				%Usados para las tablas
\usepackage[left=4cm,top=3cm,right=3cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry} 	%Definimos los Margenes
\usepackage{pdfpages} 						%to import PDF pages
\pagestyle{plain} 
\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman} 
\setcounter{page}{2}
\begin{center}
\large{Agradecimientos}\\
\end{center}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, tempor et praesent, sed vestibulum mattis augue mattis
\end{document}

if i tray compile, launch a warnign...

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmss/m/sc' in size <12> not available
(Font) Font shape `OT1/cmr/m/sc' tried instead on input line 19.

i the numbering looks as if invoking

Code: Select all

\pagenumbering{Roman} 

but i really new the roman look.

First, the warning comes from the fact that you're using cmss as the default font:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}

Remove that line and the warning will disappear. It's because the roman numbering isn't supported by that font type.

The uppercase roman numbering is because of the spanish option in the babel package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[spanish] {babel}

I don't know why, since I'm not spanish Apparently the page numbering is forced to uppercase.

Hi PaX,

welcome to the board!

Traditional Spanish typography discourages the use of lowercase Roman
numerals; instead, babel uses small caps (scshape). In your sans serif font there's no small caps shape. If you really would like to use small caps in sans serif, you need to change the font.

However, you could switch to normal lowercase (sans serif, in your case) roman, in your preamble after loading babel:

Code: Select all

\spanishlcroman
