Yes. Indeed. > \newcommand\Telefon{\mvchr{84}} Here's the problem. My version uses \def\Telefon{\mvchr{84}} which overrides g-brief's definition silently, while \newcommand results in an error, if the macro is already defined.[1] I guess this has been done by default, in order to "inform" the user that a file definition is overridden. The easiest fix is probably to replace the \newcommand by \def. This keeps the Symbol available in principle (for other apllications). Jürgen [1] The procedure goes as follows: 1. gbrief defines \Telefon 2. then gbrief loads marvosym, which defines \Telefon as well 3. right after that, g-brief defines \Telefon again The error happens in step 2.
