I have a problem with scrarticle (and its option parskip=half), fontenc and algorithm2e:

\documentclass[parskip=half]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage[boxed]{algorithm2e}

\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}
    \KwData{test}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}

If you compile this document (with pdflatex), then there is no padding between the text and the frame of the algorithm. If you remove parskip=half or \usepackage{fontenc} (or both), then everything is fine.

What is happening here? Did I do anything wrong? How to fix this problem?

  • Unrelated: It's pretty pointless to load fontenc without option(s).

  • Of course, this is just for the MWE. In the real document, I use T1.

  • Interesting fact: it depends on the loading order. Loading fontenc after algorithm2e works too.

  • You can also replace \usepackage{fontenc} by \selectfont and you will observe the same...

    The margin is calculated with \parindent, and algorithm2e obviously doesn't expect this to be zero when the package is loaded.

To solve the problem, I manually set the margin of the algorithm via \setlength{\algomargin}{1em}.
