Well, they don't on my instalation :-) I tested just the same. But my junk.log contains the two lines: Missing character: There is no ^^e4 in font cmr10! Missing character: There is no ^^e5 in font cmr10!

But the status of mfdcfnt is ok installed, Version: 1.0-1. However, I created one and placed the new fonts there. > > fonts/dc/tfm/* > > (these files should relplace all files in > /usr/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/dc/) OK, that directory excisted, so I updated it. And, now your latex example works just fine (using ISO characters in the latex file), but Susan G. Kleinmann's junk.tex still wount give me any umlaut characters. >

Accented characters do work in LaTeX as in TeX. Actually the following text: --- \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \"a. \end{document} --- does produce an umlaut on the a. The problem may come from the fact that you use a wrong encoding (eg.: you actually typed a real "ä" using iso-latin1 and you use a US cmr font instead of using the "EURO" DC font. In this case, and if you use LaTeX2e style as above, try using \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}). So the following text will be Ok (but would'nt w/o the fontenc package). --- \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} ä \end{document} --- (NOTE: You will probably get an error message telling that dcr1000.mf is not found: the Debian LaTeX DC font installation is FAULTY here (a mismatch between the version of the DC fonts and the version of the font description files).

Re: tex font problems
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
tex font problems
Hi, 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? And maby has a fix for it?
