couple of symbols that I wouldn't expect to find on a keyboard (namely
\times and \equiv) but apart from that I don't think I'm using anything
unusual.
I'm using pdflatex to output the PDF, and I'm aiming for print quality,
not screen quality, if they're not related.
I'm seeing a variety of problems in the .pdf output, but latex by itself
doesn't exhibit any of them when I create DVI output.
The problems I'm seeing include:
o Missing characters
- lowercase "a", fagawdsake!
o Wierd quoting
- the source document has
''a quote''
- the .dvi has
"a quote" - but with 66s and 99s (as I'd expect)
- however, the .pdf has
\a quote''
o Missing symbols
- \times
- \equiv
Generally, not a great looking document.
I'm hoping that someone can say "just install the 'foo' package, and
you're set", but I'd be willing to do a fair bit of digging around if
anyone thinks it'll help. On the other hand, I hope that maybe there's
another font package that needs installing? Puuuurrrlease?
I'm running up-to-date sid with tetex-{base,bin,extra} installed. No
manual configuration's been done beyond apt-get's efforts.
Thanks for any help!
