General ⇒ Problem with the Color package

[ggran]

Hey there,

I've encountered a very odd problem.
I have a paper I work on. When I added the color package, a strange "OT1OT1" is added to the text as the first thing in the first page of the PDF.
This happens with xcolor as well.
I tried removing packages (except for the babel) but couldn't find the one that conflicts.

Some bits of data:
I use Miktex 2.7, compiling with pdflatex.
The header of my tex file is (this is partial header. If needed I'll send the full header, But I think the rest is irrelevant)

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{color}  
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage[hebrew,english]{babel}
\usepackage{hebfont}

\restylefloat{figure}
\restylefloat{table}

Thanks!

Please post some useful code (in the sense of a minimal working example) that clearly shows the undesired behaviour.

[ggran]

Here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,thesis]{report}
\usepackage{color}  
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage[hebrew,english]{babel}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

So now I'm sure it's the babel. Now I'll ask a different question - How to avoid this?
can't I use both colors and babel?

thesis is not a standard document class option. This will be responsible for a message:

Code: Select all

Unused global option(s):[thesis].

Removing this class option and processing your example code, I only got the following warning

Code: Select all

 No hyphenation patterns were loaded for(babel) the language `Hebrew'(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.

which means that (of course) i haven't installed the approriate hyphenation patterns.

However, I still do not see that "OT1OT1" extra code you mentioned in your first post.

Hi ggran,

if I compile this test code it does not show the problem you described, just the warnings gmedina mentioned.
You may consider to update the used packages (color, babel). Or post your logfile as attachment, perhaps we will find the cause by reading that.

"thesis" can be omitted, without changing the effect.
Can it be a problem in my installation?
Is there an option to check it up? (without formatting the windows and installing linux )

Hi ggran,

perhaps it could help to update your babel version.
If you write \listfiles into your preamble you can see what files are used and their versions.

Stefan

[ggran]

Hey,

My installation was quite update, nevertheless I updated it again, but that caused no change.
Babel version is <3.8j>.

The pdflatex updated as well, but I think its not the problem, since performing latex gives the same result.

If this doesn't happen at your place - than maybe it is some specific configuration I have in this machine. Can you refer me where I can check machine-specific configurations?

Attached the new log, after performing update.

I've also tried the minimal example you provided without showing the undesired behaviour reported in the first post. It works on a Mac and on a virtual machine running Windows with MikTeX 2.7. Here I mention things to try:
* Rewrite the minimal example from scratch. Perhaps there is a hidden character in your actual file causing the writing of OT1OT1.
* Load fontenc with T1 encoding. It is highly odd that the unexpected text is precisely "OT1".
* Change the order in which the packages are loaded.
* Remove the hebrew option.
* Check your files with an on-line compiler. There are several of them out there:

Hey all.
I finally resolved it.

The synopsis is this:
The hebrew babel requires some fonts mapping file (that from some reason are not installed automatically)
see: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@l ... 02851.html.

In order to fix this, I downloaded a package named MiktexHeb (which is a specific localtex directory) and added it manualy to the miktex roots.
This happened quite a while ago, so I didn't remember it...
I guess that on of the files in that localtex is conflicting. (maybe it is not updated, and it gets priority
over the updated packages installed by the MikTex package manager)

The remedy - I copied the "font" directory of the MIktexHeb and added it to the miktex setting. This solved the missing fonts,
and once I disabled the localtex from being a root - the OT1OT1 problem disappeared.
[maybe its more a detour than a solution, however, it works.]

Thanks to all of you - you certainly guided me to the solution!
