Yep, the "`OM" was eaten by cut'n'paste.

Okay, that makes the whole thing work.

Thanks!


I grepped a bit around, it seems textcomp is only mentioned
together with lmodern in doc/fonts/lm/tstlmts1.tex, with
the TS1 encoding.

So my suggestion would be to append something like the
following to the "How to use the Latin Modern fonts with
LaTeX-based engines?" section in README.Debian:

	A \usepackage{textcomp} also solves a bunch of font
	related issues that tend to come up with lmodern.

Or the like.
