I wanted to put a caption in fraktur.
Following the instructions in The LaTeX Companion, I loaded the package
oldgerm and then used \textfrak{Gau\ss ian primes}. I got the following
warning:
(C:\miktex\texmf\tex\latex\mfnfss\uyfrak.fd
File: Uyfrak.fd 1998/06/07 v2.1j YH Fraktur definitions
)
LaTeX Font Info: Try loading font information for OT1+yfrak on input
line 80
0.
LaTeX Font Info: No file OT1yfrak.fd. on input line 800.
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/yfrak/m/n' undefined
(Font) using `OT1/cmr/m/n' instead
(Font) for symbol `ss' on input line 800.
Sure enough, it was all in fraktur save the \ss, which was in cmr. Is it
possible that the fraktur fonts don't include the \ss? I got similar
results with \textgoth and \textschwab.
I am using a full TeXLive installation on Win XP.
