Text Formatting ⇒ problem with font size

[dragonspirit]

Hi, I have a problem with these packages:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}  %definisce la classe del documento
\usepackage[OT2,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% elimina l'indentazione all'inizio del capoverso
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\usepackage[width=17.00cm, height=24.00cm]{geometry}

I'm unable to set the size of the main font in the document class declaration. TexStudio give me an error if I use the fontenc package with a font size declaration different from 10pt.

Can anyone help me?

Welcome to the forum!

Can you tell us the error message?

It looks like a problem of the MiKTeX installation, a permission issue. The compiler cannot write there. MiKTeX can be installed in admin mode and user mode, which are different, perhaps you chose the wrong way. I don't use MiKTeX, so I just can guess. I use TeX Live. I remember there was a recommendation to install MiKTeX in user mode into the user space, to avoid all issues. Makes no difference anyway on a single user PC.

By the way, the newest MiKTeX version 2.9 is nearly 5 years old (Oct 2010), whereas TeX Live 2015 has been published this month. No problem, MiKTeX is stable and maintained, just a remark, if you consider a re-installation in case it still doesn't work anyway.

Please load package lmodern after \documentclass{article}.

[dragonspirit]

thank you for yours advices.
Can I re-install MikTex without unistall Texstudio? Or have I to unistall everything?

[Johannes_B]

Before making drastic changes to your system, i would check out if loading package lmodern suffices to take care of the problem.
If not, get your MikTeX package manager and install package cm-super.

If the behaviour still persists, reinstall MikTeX. The complete version is several Gigabytes large, TeXstudio a few Megabytes. Be sure and reinstall both.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I agree with Johannes. The problem here is, according to the error message, with the ecrm font. The long name of this font is European Computer Modern Roman Medium. Installing cm-super could fix it, as this is an extended version of the (default) Computer Modern font. No change in the document necessary. However, changing to lmodern instead is the smallest step, and this is intended as a high quality replacement of the Computer Modern, so very similar. I use it very often. You could simply insert into the preamble

Code: Select all

\usepackage{lmodern}

If you would not like it, remove the line then.
