Characters don't appear properly with PCTeX
Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific
Word
Problem
Characters don't appear properly when PCTeX is used to format and preview
documents.
Explanation
Computer Modern fonts are included both with SWP and SW and with PCTeX.
Although the two sets of fonts use the same font names, the fonts are
different and use different encoding. Only one set of fonts can be installed
at a time, so incompatibilities result if one product tries to use the fonts
intended for the other. If the fonts for the alternate product are installed,
missing or incorrect characters will appear when you typeset preview or print
your document.
Solution
If you expect to use PCTeX all the time, follow the instructions below to
install the PCTeX fonts into the Windows Fonts folder. If you plan to switch
frequently between programs, consider creating and saving font installation
batch files to handle the process.
One side effect of making this change is that the kappa symbol no longer
displays in the previewer for SWP and SW, but it will be displayed in PCTeX.
-
Remove most of the Computer Modern fonts already installed:
-
From the Windows Control Panel, choose
Fonts to open the Fonts
window.
-
Remove all fonts that begin with CM except the CMSY fonts. This table lists
the fonts to remove:

Still in the Fonts window, install the new
fonts:
-
From the File menu, choose
Install New Fonts to display a new window.

In the bottom left corner of the window, choose
Folders.
-
Display the fonts by browsing to the FONTS\AMS\TTF folder in the directory in
which PCTeX is installed.
-
Choose the Select All button and then choose
OK.
If you receive messages that the fonts are already there, choose
OK to ignore the message.
-
Choose the FONTS\TEX\TTF folder in the PCTeX directory to display a list of
fonts.
