Hi Hakan -- You said: > I am having trouble with the latex font, all non normal characters like > \"{a}, \aa and so on does not show up in the .dvi file. Has anybody else > moticed this?
As far as I can tell, these are not LaTeX constructions, but TeX constructions. I made a silly .tex file with these lines: =====begin junk.tex==================== backslash quote curly-brace a curly-brace is \"{a}. backslash a a is \aa. \vfill \eject \end =====end junk.tex==================== Then I ran tex junk dvips -o morejunk junk ghostview morejunk and the characters showed up just as expected. You can get an umlaut (Tex \"{a}) in LaTeX by using the german option to the babel package: \usepackage[german]{babel} I suspect you can get an Angstrom (Tex \aa) in LaTeX by using the swedish option. You can use two options at once by giving them as a comma seperated list: \usepackage[german,swedish]{babel} Good luck, Susan Kleinmann
