After some search for errors, I have defined the following little example to show my issue.
The command perltex can nicely translate the following document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
%\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{perltex}
\perlnewcommand\simplycopy[1]{
return $_[0];
}
\begin{document}
This works: $\mathbb{N}$
This does not when using fourier: $\simplycopy{\mathbb{N}}$
\end{document}
Mind that the use of the fourier package has been commented out. If I want to use fourier, however, by changing two lines to be
%\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{fourier}
I get an error
! LaTeX Error: Bad math environment delimiter.

l.1 \math @bb {N}\endinput ?
Apparently, perltex runs into a problem with some internally used font macro name \math@bb.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in perltex or maybe in fourier?
The automatically generated lgpl-file contains the following data:
############################### PERL CODE ################################
sub latex_simplycopy {
return $_[0];
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LATEX RESULT %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
############################### PERL CODE ################################
latex_simplycopy ('\\math@bb {N}');
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LATEX RESULT %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\math@bb {N}
so I can see that perltex has added an @ character to the original macro input \mathbb{N}, and this may be related to the problem.
