# How to Use Unicode Font with \polter command

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{holtpolt}
\begin{document}
$\polter{abc}{def}$
\end{document}

Hi, I have a need to produce something thats shown in the above example however I want to use unicode text. I tried putting the unicode text in \text{} but it did not do the trick. Using \text{} worked well in mathematics. Thanks for your help

PS: I got this from "Comprehensive Latex Symbols list page 70" I could not come up with good title for question

I've marked your inline code with backticks `. –  Hendrik Vogt Jan 14 '11 at 20:50
Sorry for this, \text{} works just fine, I forgot to load the Unicode package. You can delete this post if you like. –  Aku Jan 14 '11 at 20:50

If your unicode text is just Latin (European) characters, then you need to add packages to allow both your source code to be UTF-8 encoded (usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}) and your output (usepackage[T1]{fontenc}).

If what you mean by unicode text is something in a non-Latin script, then you should be using XeLaTeX.

The \text command is part of the amsmath package, so you need to load that too.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{holtpolt}
\begin{document}
$\polter{\text{éäî}}{\text{ßÍñ}}$
\end{document}
