No, that patch doesn't work. See attachment for what it gives me in the dvi and postscript output: the tilde is now literally "~{}"! BTW, the patch says: case '~': - os << "\\textasciitilde{}"; + os << "\\~{}"; // same as \textasciitilde; column += 16; break; case '^': - os << "\\textasciicircum{}"; + os << "\\^{}"; // same as \textasciicircum; column += 17; break; Shouldn't both values added to column-variable be 3, instead of 16 and 17? Anyway, I tried that too, but it doesn't solve my problem either. Any more ideas how to solve this tilde/circum problem ? It seems to occur only with the "Author Email" and "Auther URL" insets of REVTeX-4 class! Thanks, Rob.
