latex use is broken with textext 1.3.0 and miktex
PinkMushroom opened this issue · 2 comments
After a considerable amount of effort making sure textext was working correctly, I still get an indecipherable error when latex is enabled. The good news is that circuitsymbols works if i disable latex.
I would not be surprised if this is the result of yet another missing package in the latex installation (that was the problem i encountered with textext).

and there it is at the very end, i just wasn't patient enough to read through all the messages.
You also need the following packages
steinmetz
pict2e
and then success! Thanks for your help.
The latex output really does look good of course, but it's a bit of work to get there...
p.s. this is a very cool package.
