strange \notin ...

Post by norbusan »

Hi all!

mtpro seems to produce \notin symbols where the upper left part separated by the slash is filled in black. See
Image.
It happens in dvi and ps and pdf output.


The input code is very simple:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mtpro}
\begin{document}
$\notin$
\end{document}

and a run through latex:
...
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/article.cls
Document Class: article 2004/02/16 v1.4f Standard LaTeX document class
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/size10.clo))
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/pctex/mtpro.sty) (./test.aux)
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/pctex/mpy1mtt.fd)
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/pctex/mpy2mtt.fd)
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/pctex/mpy3mtt.fd) [1] (./test.aux) )
Output written on test.dvi (1 page, 260 bytes).

mtpro.sty is 2004/09/14 v4.0
and the font mtsyt says:
/version(1.000)readonly def
/Notice(Copyright (C) Publish or Perish, Inc. 2000-2004.)readonly def

Thanks a lot for any comment/suggestion!

Best wishes

Norbert

This depends on the Postscript interpreter you use.

Adobe's interpreter installed in my HP LJ 4MP draws
the symbol correctly, while ghostscript software
fills the \notin exactly as shown in your posting.

Actually, I believe that HP uses its own clone, which is different from Adobe's interpreter [which, by the way, has changed in the way it interprets inside and outside] and that you are both using an older version of fonts which were wrong. I'll try sending you newer versions by email, so you can check.

I tried a pdf file generated with pdftex 1.30.5 and viewed it in acroread 7.0,
and this showed the same effect. So it is not only a PostScript Interpreter
problem in my printer, but also in the Adobe Acrobat Viewer.

Is there any chance to get a different font version fixing this?
