Control: severity 466403 wishlist Am 18.02.2008 um 16:08 teilte A Mennucc mit:
> consider a piece of LaTeX as test.tex in attachment ; in this
> I am using the latin1 code 183 to generate the corresponding symbol,
> that is a centered dot. Unfortunately, this does not work
> in math mode; as you can see in DVI (in attachment as well)
> in math mode it is represented as a \Delta.
>
> The reason is that latin1.def defines the input byte 183 to be simply
> \textperiodcentered . The correct way to do that would be to use
> \DeclareInputText{183}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi}
>
> A similar problem is to be found in many other symbols.
>
> Curiously, the attached test.tex did work in older versions
> of LaTeX, and I had been using it for ~10 years.

Nobody took care of this bug report for the last years. AFAICT it is not
even clarified if this is a bug. Lowering to wishlist for now.
