How to make the page number appear on the abbreviation list?

Question

does anybody know how to make the first page of the abbreviation list have the page number? My abbrev. list is made of 3 pages and only the other two have the correct page numbering (roman). The first page is plain.

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{report}

\linespread{1.6}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{geometry}

\geometry{includeheadfoot,
  headheight=14pt,
  left=4cm,
  right=2cm,
  top=2.5cm,
  bottom=2.5cm}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl}

\makenomenclature

\usepackage{makeidx}

\makeindex

\usepackage{hyperref}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}

\hypersetup{
    colorlinks,
    citecolor=black,
    filecolor=black,
    linkcolor=black,
    urlcolor=black}

\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancypagestyle{plain}
\fancyhf{} 
\fancyhead[C]{\thepage}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List of Abbreviations}

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{gobble}

\title{} \author{Andrea Lagna} \date{}

\maketitle

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{}

\begin{abstract}

\end{abstract}

\chapter*{Acknowledgments}

\cleardoublepage

\pagenumbering{roman}

\listoffigures 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\thispagestyle{fancy}

\end{document}

Answer 1

I know I am late, but here is a solution: To have the first page of the nomenclature carry your fancy page style, issue

\renewcommand{\nompreamble}{\thispagestyle{fancy}}

in your preamble.

Moreover, to have the roman numbering continue through the nomenclature, issue a \clearpage after \printnomenclature, otherwise the following \pagenumbering{arabic} will be applied to the last page of the nomenclature. To summarize, it should look like this:

...
\renewcommand{\nompreamble}{\thispagestyle{fancy}}
\printnomenclature 
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
...

The real problem, however, is the way you (try to) change the plain page style. This style will automatically applied on all first pages of chapters, so also on the first page of the nomenclature. You missed the braces, it should look like this:

\fancypagestyle{plain}{% an opening brace here
  \fancyhf{} 
  \fancyhead[C]{\thepage}
}% a closing brace here

That way, the redefinition of \nompreamble is not necessary.
