Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Ê appears in blank Lines

[kenneth86]

Has anyone had trouble with that an unwanted symbol Ê appears out of nothing in your text where you want a paragraph break (i.e. a blank line) ?

Example:

Code: Select all

\noindent Some text
\\ \\
\noindent Some more text

Would appear as:

Some text
Ê
Some more text

in my PDF file. Any experience concerning this issue or possible solutions?

Thanks

Try to cut down the problem to a minimal example. Otherwise it will be almost impossible to offer help.

By the way, this is not the recommended way to separate paragraphs. Either use the parskip package as a workaround or another class like those from KOMA-Script which care about such things.

I started having the same problem. As far as I can tell it has nothing to do with paragraph breaks, as it appears seemingly randomly in various documents. I first noticed the problem when I started using the fourier package, though when I leave it out the Ê sign doesn't necessarily disappear.

I wonder if anybody else has any idea where this is coming from?

Here is a MWE -- the Ê appears below the item in my pdf:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fourier}

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize} 
\item LOREM IPSUM
\end{itemize} 

\end{document}

Hi, you can have your code with syntax highlighting by clicking the little code-button when writing your posts. There is some other nice feature: You can click on open in writelatex. Please test this out with your copy/pasted example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fourier}

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
\item LOREM IPSUM
\end{itemize} 

\end{document}

As you can see, there is nothing strange in the output.

But i guess there is something like invisible unicode characters inside your file. Maybe here is something you might find helpful.

Best regards

PS: Check the encoding of your editor (somewhere in the preferences or the "save as..." dialog). If it is utf8, you should also say \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
