I would like to use \medstar
from the MnSymbol
package, but it seems that MnSymbol
conflicts with other packages I am using including amsmath
.
I've tried to use \FiveStarOpen
from bbding
as suggested here: Latex command for unfilled \bigstar
But for some reason \FiveStarOpen
does not display an unfilled star, but the figure '9' instead.
Here is the list of packages that I am using: cite
, graphicx
, epstopdf
, tikz,
amsmath
, amsfonts
, amsthm
, cancel
, array
, mdwmath
, mdwtab
, fixltx2e
, url
, color
, enumerate
, and comment
.
I am a beginner at LaTEX, so any help will be greatly appreciated!
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{cancel}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{mdwmath}
\usepackage{mdwtab}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{comment}
\usepackage{bbding}
\begin{document}
\FiveStarOpen
\end{document}
\usepackage{pifont}
and\ding{73}
? However, in math you should use\text{\ding{73}}
and, similarly,\text{\FiveStarOpen}
