Hello, textcomp.sty contains: \DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{cmr}{0} ... \DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{ptmj}{4} However, I miss entries for the new font families of Latin Modern and TeX Gyre. Both seems to support "0": \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{tgheros} \usepackage{textcomp} \DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{lmr}{0} \DeclareEncodingSubset{TS1}{qhv}{0} \begin{document} \textrm{\textcircled{a}} \textsf{\textcircled{a}} \end{document} Without the subset declarations there is a warning for qhv (tgheros): LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OMS/qhv/m/n' undefined (Font) using `OMS/cmsy/m/n' instead on input line 10. With the declarations the example runs without errors and warnings, but the circle is a little small. Yours sincerely Heiko <[log in to unmask]>
