How can I make the tilde appear in the url in the following document? I know that this has been asked many times before but googling has -not- helped me in my case. The following document does not show the tilde in the url.
\documentclass[letterpaper,10pt]{letter}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[lowtilde]{url}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{http://www.university.edu/~person/index.html}{http://www.university.edu/~person/index.html}
\end{document}
see url \url{https://www.university.edu/~person/index.html}
?
