Bug#193444: tetex-base: helvetica \textsterling produces dollar sign with latex, pdflatex
Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2-3
Severity: normal
Two files are attached: a simple test file test.tex which prints
\textsterling and \pounds in Helvetica, and it's log file when
processed with LaTeX. Both command sequences should produce the
symbol for British pounds sterling: £. Instead, they produce an
italic dollar sign. This is true using LaTeX and Xdvi and PDFLaTeX
and gv with ghostscript 7.04.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{helvet}
\begin{document}
\sffamily
\pounds 4
\textsterling 3
\end{document}
