# \hbar is not coming properly in pdf output while using {mathptmx} [closed]

\hbar is printing perfectly in both PS and PDF formats while using standard fonts. However if I am using Times New Roman fonts, the PS file is showing a correct \hbar but the PDF file is not showing it properly. It is giving a bar over h (should be h cross).

Including these two packages (shown below) creates all the problems.

System information: TeXnicCenter, MiKTeX2.9, Windows 7

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}


Example TeX file

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\begin{document}
The Zeeman Hamiltonian can be written as
\begin{eqnarray}
\mathcal{H}_z &=& -{\mu . B}\\
&=& -\mu_z . B_z = -\hbar {I_z} \gamma B_0 = -\hbar \omega_0 {I_z},
\end{eqnarray}

\end{document}


Note: No error message is shown. The PS file is showing a perfect 'hbar' symbol, but not the PDF. I guess my PDF is not supporting the 'hbar' symbol

Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. In my test the problem doesn't show, so this might depend on other settings you're doing. – egreg May 21 '12 at 10:11
MWE included, see the main post above. – royce May 21 '12 at 10:38
Compiling the example with pdflatex, but also with latex+dvips+ps2pdf gives the expected result. – egreg May 21 '12 at 10:42
Thanks. But the same example is not working for direct LaTeX => PDF . So I am first creating the PS output by LaTeX => PS and then converting PS into PDF. However the same example is working for LaTeX=>PDF if you remove the {mathptmx} package. Do you know any other way to creat Times New Roman fonts other than using {mathptmx} ? – royce May 21 '12 at 10:51
What's the error in the pdflatex compilation? – egreg May 21 '12 at 10:55
