Comma inside \texttt{} does’nt show up

Question

I am trying to print a comma inside a \texttt{} tag, but it is not printing:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
    \texttt{foo, bar}  
\end{document}

produces:

foo bar

not

foo, bar

How to print the comma inside without loading extra packages, though defining new command is allowed?

I have TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2012) kpathsea version 6.1.0

I use the command \ll to compile and \lv to view from Vim using the Vim-LaTeX plugin. The viewer is Document Viewer 3.6.0

The \ll command calls the TeX compiler using this command:

latex -interaction=nonstopmode

The log file is located here: http://pastebin.com/JKJBk7xv

It should produce a comma, something is seriously wrong with your setuo if not. What does the log say when you run that?
Are you sure you're typing a comma and not the character "‚" Unicode SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK (U+201A)?
Yes It's a good call, if the OP shows the log file and that's the reason you get the crystall-ball badge again

The problem was apparently the Document Viewer 3.6.0

I installed Okular, made it default dvi viewer and suddenly the commas show. Apparently it is a bug in Document Viewer.

Make a bug report to the guys who develop Document Viewer, ok? – Keks Dose Nov 29 '12 at 20:33
