Uppercase Omega becomes dark Box

Post by zainah »

Dear all,

I want to write the equation below, but when I run it, the Omega not come out (only become square dark box). Why this situation happen? Tq.

Code: Select all

v_3 = [{\it{l} \tau_3 + I_z \dot{\psi} \dot{ \phi} - (J_{t} {\Omega} + I_x\dot{\phi}) \dot{ \psi}}]/I_y \notag\\

This code works for me and prints the Omega:

I extended your code snippet to make it compilable:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
  v_3 = [{\it{l} \tau_3 + I_z \dot{\psi} \dot{ \phi} - (J_{t} {\Omega}
    + I_x\dot{\phi}) \dot{ \psi}}]/I_y \notag\\
\end{align}
\end{document}
You see, the problem is not in the code which you posted. Please post a compilable Infominimal working example, which shows the problem. That's generally recommendable. Otherwise it's hard to help. For example, nobody knows your document class and used packages yet, not even which math environment you used.

Dear sir,
You are right, when I run just only that code, it's work. But when I run true the whole document it become like in an attachment.

Please follow the link to the explanation about a Infominimal working example which I wrote above, and here again. I suggest hack down a copy of your original code, i.e. reduce it, and post it here. Probably the cause is in your preamble.

For example, I can see that you use a different font. Possibly that one doesn't provide an Omega.

Had the same problem some time ago and solved it as you suggested. Thing was, that I had to re-arrange some packages in the preamble.

But again, zainah, please post a working example.
