Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ How to keep original font format with fourier package?

[ivan_hr]

Hi,

I would like to insert a bomb symbol in my text (don't worry I'm not a terrorist ). In order to do so I have to use fourier package. But when I include fourier package in the preamble it changes my default font and I don't want this to happen. In order to solve this i tried adding

Code: Select all

1
\fontencoding{OT1}\selectfont
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

at the beginning of my document which didn't have the effect I was hoping for (boldface and italic commands don't work anymore).

Does anyone know how can I use the fourier package (for the bomb symbol) but keep my original i.e. default text format?
Here is my example code (notice that \textbf has no effect when fourier package is turned on):

You seem to use the standard Computer Modern (CM) font for your document. Just load the Latin Modern (LM) fonts by the lmodern package to override fourier. Afterwards you still can use the bomb symbol.

First of all thanks a lot for your answer localghost.

I have copied your code exactly and it has helped in getting the boldface and italic back, but now I have lost some of the math symbols in my document like + and >?
Here is the example which doesn't work as it should:

Do you have any ideas how to fix this maybe?
Thanks in advance.

Which editor do you use? It is important that the file is saved with the same encoding as chosen in the option for the inputenc package. See the package manual for details.

[ivan_hr]

I'm using TeXworks editor and MikTeX 2.9 distribution. utf-8 encoding was/is selected as my default encoding.

Then the code I provided should work as is. What does the log file say? Any irregularities? I also use TeXworks and don't face this problem.

This is the exact code that I'm running:

I thought it might be something to do with my computer or operating system (Win 7) but on another machine running Windows XP I still get the same result. I've included the output example and log file. I can't make much of the log file.

There does seem to be a conflict between the fourier and lmodern packages. But you can get around this by using just the fourier-orns package (for the bomb and other special symbols), without having to use lmodern:

When you do it this way, Computer Modern will still be the default and all its usual math symbols will show up, and Fourier gets used only for some special symbols.

Thanks shadgrind,

This solves the problem with the math symbols. The only problem is that some capital letters in my document have gone haywired. Notice the letters T, E and A

[localghost]

I could comprehend the problem. Some how I didn't notice that you added some math stuff to the code. The suggestion of shadgrind does the trick. If not done yet, install the cm-super package by the package manager of your TeX distribution.
