Thanks, SA no_spam at ntlworld dot com Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-1.0.7-66 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile any latex file using the marvosym package and the \EUR symbol 2. use dvips or xdvi to view the file 3. Actual Results: dvips / xdvi crash Expected Results: you should be able to make docs with the euro symbol Additional info:
It works in the current test release.
I am not sure I understand: According to redhat.com tetex 1.0.7 - 66 is the latest release and this certainly doesn't work on my installation. The file latex fine but the xdvi view fails to find the font and either crashes or subsitutes a font (in which case the euro symbol is not visible). Further testing suggests an XDVI problem since dvips works ok. >> cat test.tex \documentclass{report} \usepackage{marvosym} \begin{document} This is a test: %this is without the euro symbol this is with the euro symbol \EUR \end{document} >> latex test.texThis is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (test.tex LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, i talian, nohyphenation, loaded.

It works in the current test release (Severn). In other words, the next release will contain the fix.
Any chance of the fix being available in the mean time? (or a work around?
This is fixed in Fedora Core 1.
