As a workaround comment out 'G' in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config.pdf. In fact using the option '-G0' is the easier way to do this. I think that a newer dvips may fix this. This seems to work normally now in tetex-2.0.2. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020610 Description of problem: If the times package is used for a latex document, then ligature characters (fi, fl...) get converted to strange characters if the dvips -Ppdf option is used to make a postscript file (to later convert to pdf). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a latex document using fl and fi in the text 2. Use the times package 3. $ latex test.tex 4. $ dvips -Ppdf test.dvi 5. $ gv test.ps Actual Results: Weird characters Expected Results: Normal ligatures. Additional info: Example latex document: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{times} \begin{document} flash in the pan. \emph{flash in the pan}. first I will do this. \emph{first I will do this}. \end{document}
