No, the problem originally reported was that $\textdegree$ does not work in 1.5 (in a file that requested textcomp). This is at least indicated by the testcase (I didn't follow the actual thread). > Without using textcomp you > get the following: > > latin1 latin9 > ° in math works does not work > \textdegree in math works works > ° in text works does not work > \textdegree in text (ERT) works works > > > This is with TeXLive 2005. TeXLive 2007, without textcomp loaded: latin1 latin9 ° in math works works* \textdegree in math works works* ° in text works** works** \textdegree in text (ERT) works works TeXLive 2007, with textcomp loaded: latin1 latin9 ° in math does not work does not work \textdegree in math does not work does not work ° in text works** works** \textdegree in text (ERT) works works * although I get error messages: ./degree.tex:16: Command \textdegree invalid in math mode on input line 16. ./degree.tex:18: Command \^ invalid in math mode on input line 18. ./degree.tex:18: Command \textdegree invalid in math mode on input line 18. ** sort of: in both encodigs, I get an additional weird character So the problem is: what can we do with $\textdegree$ and $°$ in case textcomp is requested?
