I recently installed teTeX 3.0 on a FreeBSD computer (completly wiping the
previous installation to avoid problems), and while almost everything works
fine, a strange bug occurs while using babel & amsart.
For example when rendering (with pdflatex) this short document :
\documentclass[frenchb]{amsart} \usepackage{babel} \begin{document} \title{Tata} \maketitle Hello. \newpage World. \end{document}
The word "french" is prepended to the title at the top of the second page so
it read "frenchTata" instead of "Tata". The same problem happens with other
langage (german for example).
The problem did not occur in any previous version of teTeX.
Apparently, it did. On January 30, 2005, Piero D'Ancona wrote to the TeX on Mac OS X Mailing List ( http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ ):
Hi co-listers.
For those of you who need the combination amsart+babel in a non-english language, and are annoyed by the running title bug (i.e., you get a running title like "italianSHORTTITLE OF THE PAPER" instead of "SHORTTITLE OF THE PAPER" as expected), I have a quick fix: just add after \maketitle the line
\let\languagename\relax
This is just a dirty trick but it solves the problem and in my tests produces no collateral damage. Be sure to put the above line before any sectioning commands (where the marks for the \output routine are set). Still waiting for a true fix of course.
Enjoy, Piero
Best regards,
Axel
