General ⇒ Package inputenc Error: Unicode char not set up for use with

[Davis et al]

Hello,

If I write

Code: Select all

I examine the five-year effective rates. 

I get two error messages:
(i) ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char fi (U+FB01)
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
(ii) ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ff (U+FB00)
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.

In my preamble I write:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
\usepackage[left= 4cm,right = 2cm, bottom = 2 cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[nopostdot,toc,nonumberlist]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

I need help, please.

Best & many thanks in advance!

You should write it with ligatures directly. Just use fi and ff instead. LaTeX will substitue with the real ligatures if they are provided in the font you use.

Hi Johannes,

thank you for your reply. However, I do not know how to write it with ligatures directly ...

Oh sorry, i mised a little not there. Right now, you are inputting ligatures directly, but you should not. Just press the f button, and then the i button to get fi instead of the ligature.

Hi Davis,

welcome to the forum!

As Johannes said; write two f instead of ff. LaTeX takes care of the ligatures itself. I guess you don't type the text but copy & paste text from the Internet or from a PDF file.

For direct input, Clemens wrote a solution here: Input Encoding Issue.

So, you could add these 3 lines in the preamble here, if needed:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{newunicodechar}
\newunicodechar{fi}{fi}
\newunicodechar{ff}{ff}
\begin{document}
I examine the five-year effective rates.
\end{document}

Hello Stefan,

thank you! In fact, I copied it from an PDF to cite a sentence.
Now it works!

Faced the same issue (like Davis et al) and the solution by Stefan Kottwitz worked. Thanks man!
