This is fine, but causes a problem under some +circumstan= +ces: + +The title of a chapter of my document contains the german word "Ma=DFe" +(which means something like "measurement"). Since the german sharp s +"=DF= +" +is not available in uppercase, LaTeX maps it to "ss". This would be O.K. +in principle,but the result is the word "Masse" which has a completely +different meaning (it means "mass"). This is not acceptable! + +I solution I could live with would be to print the sharp s "=DF" as it +is= +, +even it would be a single lowercase letter in between uppercase letters. +How can I achieve this? (It is not sufficient to type \textrm{\3}!) + +Does anybody has an idea ? + +Thanks in advance! + +Best Regards, + + Uwe Schneider + -------- ------54F385E923BECEEB50306439 +Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; + name="Uwe.Schneider.vcf" +Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit +Content-Description: Card for Uwe Schneider +Content-Disposition: attachment; + filename="Uwe.Schneider.vcf" + +begin:vcard +n:Schneider;Uwe +tel;fax:+49-6151-155-299 +tel;work:+49-6151-155-577 +x-mozilla-html:FALSE +org:Fraunhofer-IGD;Document Imaging +adr:;;Rundeturmstr.6;Darmstadt;;64283;Germany +version:2.1 +email;internet:Uwe.Schneider@IGD.Fhg.de +title:Dipl.
