Hi all.
I've tried googling lists.debian.org, but I don't get anything coming up that seems to address my problem.
I'm trying to get a "nice" looking PDF from a latex document. I'm using the normal article class,
have you try to the AmS packages ?
with no other packages loaded. I'm using a
couple of symbols that I wouldn't expect to find on a keyboard (namely \times and \equiv) but apart from that I don't think I'm using anything unusual.
I'm using pdflatex to output the PDF, and I'm aiming for print quality, not screen quality, if they're not related.
I'm seeing a variety of problems in the .pdf output, but latex by itself doesn't exhibit any of them when I create DVI output.
The problems I'm seeing include:
o Missing characters - lowercase "a", fagawdsake!
o Wierd quoting - the source document has ''a quote'' - the .dvi has "a quote" - but with 66s and 99s (as I'd expect) - however, the .pdf has \a quote''
o Missing symbols - \times - \equiv
Generally, not a great looking document.
I'm hoping that someone can say "just install the 'foo' package, and you're set", but I'd be willing to do a fair bit of digging around if anyone thinks it'll help. On the other hand, I hope that maybe there's another font package that needs installing? Puuuurrrlease?
I'm running up-to-date sid with tetex-{base,bin,extra} installed. No manual configuration's been done beyond apt-get's efforts.
Thanks for any help! jc
