these things always seem to happen right before a presentation... i have a
definition for vectors:
\renewcommand{\v}[1]{\ensuremath{{\bf\vec{#1}}}}
just recently, i found this produced vectors with a ~ symbol instead of the
familiar vector symbol. previously, this macro always gave me nice vectors.
in this code snippet:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation} \bf\vec{x} \end{equation}
\end{document}
the \vec{} produces a squiggly line, very much like \~. by commenting out
the usepackage for amsmath, \vec produces the familiar vector symbol.
including amsmath seems to be the culprit.
i think tetex was updated a few weeks ago, and it's conceivable that i
haven't noticed this behavior since then; i've been on vacation for awhile.
has anyone else noticed this?
