Classicthesis: Roman chapter numbering

Post by mcbain666 »

Hello,
I am trying to get classicthesis to display the chapters with roman numbering.
Unfortunately, if I try to compile this:

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\usepackage{classicthesis-ldpkg}
\usepackage[]{classicthesis}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\myChapter{One}
\myChapter{Tu}
\myChapter{Tri}
\end{document}

the table of contents does not seem to work. It writes the first digit of the roman numeral smaller than the others. Something that does not happen in the rest of the output.

I really don't see where the problem is,
Any suggestions?

Thanks

I seem to have found a problem.
In the classicthesis.sty file there is a

\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{\scshape\MakeTextLowercase}%

which when applied to say III, gets only part of he job done printing iII. Then scshape makes the i into a small I.

So removing the \MakeTextLowercase (partially) solves the problem.
Partially because now I'd like to get all the numeral in scshape and lowercase,

any suggestions?

SOLVED! (I hope)

just add
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}

in classicthesis.sty, before line 384 (i.e. when it starts doing all the hacks for myChapter)
