XeTeX ⇒ Footnote symbols don't show using \thanks{} and fontspec

[gioacchele]

Hi all
I've used xelatex and fontspec.sty to use custom opentype fonts in latex documents. Everything seems to work except for the fact i don't see footnote symbols (like asterisk, dagger, etc.) using the command \thanks{} in the \title or \author fields.

Here's an example

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{fontspec}
% set fonts
\fontspec{Cronos Pro}
\setromanfont{Cronos Pro}

\title{\begin{center}This is a Title\end{center}}
\author{Random J. Author\thanks{Ministry of Silly Walks}}
\date{}


\begin{document}
	\maketitle

\paragraph{1} Blablabla

\end{document}

You can find the pdf output enclosed.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Replace the inputenc package with xunicode. Take also a look at xltxtra package. Omit the mysterious center environment around the title. It is completely superfluous since the title is centered automatically.


Best regards
Thorsten

It works including the xltxtra package.

Thanks a lot!

I have a very similar issue using fontspec.

In fact, writing a document of three authors, all the authors' thanks are just yielded as the last one's: Double-dagger.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{extarticle} 

% \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} % not for XeLaTeX
\usepackage{xltxtra}

% Fontspec for Fonts
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Palatino Linotype}
\setsansfont{Futura Std Book}[Scale=MatchUppercase]
\setmonofont{Courier New}[Scale=MatchLowercase]
\usepackage{titling}

\pretitle{\begin{center}\LARGE\sffamily}
\posttitle{\par \end{center}\vskip 0.5em}
\preauthor{\begin{center}
\large\sffamily \lineskip 0.5em%
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}}
\postauthor{\end{tabular}\par\end{center}}
\predate{\begin{center}\large\sffamily}
\postdate{\par\end{center}}
\title{Brief Review}
 
\author{
  Cadwallon
    \thanks{ \sffamily Main Author}
  \and  Author 2
    \thanks{ \sffamily Sidekick}    
  \and  Author 3
    \thanks{ \sffamily Sidekick}
 }
\date{ \today}  
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\end{document}

This yields the following pdf.

[Johannes_B]

I do not possess the fonts, can you please run the following example and state the result?

Code: Select all

\listfiles\documentclass{extarticle}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\title{Brief Review}
\author{
	Cadwallon%
	\thanks{ \sffamily Main Author}
	\and  Author 2%
	\thanks{ \sffamily Sidekick}    
	\and  Author 3%
	\thanks{ \sffamily Sidekick}
}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\end{document}

[Cadwallon]

The result concerning the thanks is the same. All authors have double-daggers.

[Johannes_B]

If you copied my example your log-file contains a file list at the end. I guess somewhere your versions are out of date. Please compare with my filelist, as i can see the expected output.

[Cadwallon]

For the sake of brevity, pray tell, how did you call your XeLaTeX to obtain a logfile of this style? Mine contains the full path to the files.

[Johannes_B]

Really? My output should be standard. But it's ok if the filenames are there, as long as you can see the version numbers.

[Cadwallon]

Ok, I figured out.

In fact, it looks like I have up to date versions.

However, there are several 13something.sty not included in my list.

I use TexLive 2014.
