Look more carefully. That ρ was outside any math mode (though there were some ∇,∙, and x in math mode). test.tex tests a Greek character, a few Cyrillic characters, some mathematical symbols in math mode, some symbols outside of math mode, and a Chinese character. None of the TeX engines can find any of them. > I'm marking it incomplete instead, since the reporter talks a lot about > XeTeX.

XeTeX 0.995 had "preliminary support for the full range of Unicode letters in math mode" (see http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=xetex_download ); TeXLive currently comes with 0.996, which is in the texlive-xetex Ubuntu package. Preliminary support; not that I was really expecting those characters to work in math mode. > Otherwise, for (La)TeX I agree this is not a bug, at least not an Ubuntu bug > (should > be a wishlist bug for LaTeX upstream to improve UTF-8 support instead). In standard LaTeX, it isn't a bug, because standard LaTeX has no unicode support. However, XeTeX and Aleph should at least support the Greek, Cyrillic and Chinese characters. A full install of texlive even includes font support for Cherokee. ~thomas -- cartwheel ^(^_^)> v(.-.)v <(^_^)^ -- None of the TeX engines installed in texlive-full know where any of the fonts are https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
