Text Formatting ⇒ Verbatim text and special chars

[postroutine]

Hello,

In a verbatim block like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{verbatim}
/test
├── file-a
├── file-b
└── file-c
\end{verbatim}

But after I convert to PDF, the special chars are gone and only the directory and files names are keep.

I use texlive 11:2023 (based on my package manager)

Do you know why ?

Please, always prepare a self-contained minimal example that makes it easier for others to offer help.

We don't have the log file (*.log) here to see what's going wrong. Are there any warnings? So, please attach it to your next post.

Consider to install (the so-called vanilla) TeX Live 2025. An alternative would be MiKTeX.

For such a directory tree you can use the »dirtree« package.

Code: Select all

%\listfiles
\documentclass[11pt,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[%
  includeheadfoot,%
  margin=1truein,%
  truedimen%
]{geometry}
%\usepackage[parfill=0em]{parskip}

\usepackage{dirtree}

\usepackage{mlmodern}
\usepackage[babel]{microtype}

\begin{document}
  \dirtree{%
    .1 /test.
    .2 file-a.
    .2 file-b.
    .2 file-c.
  }
\end{document}

For details please consult the package manual.
