It's been a couple of months since I last used my TeX, so I did some updates that became availabe (using MikTeX's software - Windows 7/64bit) and as of that moment, I noticed that my siunitx package began to have issues when used with the eulervm package (when added with euler-digits option). A couple of weeks ago I also came across a problem (I couldn't use Palatino with XeLaTeX, for some weird reason).

So I need to solve three issues:

  1. I'd REALLY want to stick with eulervm package, added with euler-digits option. I like the looks of it much better and the option allows me to add some emphasis to math values.

  2. Although not necessary, I'd like to keep the "Palatino" typeface. It matches the eulervm style much more and it has support to small-caps with bold face, which the default typeface does not have.

  3. I also need the siunitx package as the content of the documents I need to type demand a good unit type setting!

Here's a MWE with the default typeface (Note I use XeLaTeX). If you know how to put Palatino back on there, please tell me:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[hmargin=2cm,vmargin=2cm,bmargin=2cm]{geometry}
%
\usepackage{fontspec}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\usepackage[euler-digits]{eulervm}
\begin{document}

BLABLABLA... \SI{2}{\ohm}

\end{document}

When I compile the MWE this is what I get:

EDIT: After updating MikTeX I solved the errors in the image, although not the issue of siunitx. I tried some more things and discovered the issue: The fontspec package was the cause of it. Once I removed it (adding the inputenc package), compiling it with XeLaTeX worked, PDFLaTeX also worked.

  • your example runs without error in an up to date texlive 2015, what do you mean by "could not use palatino" what commands did you use, and what error did you get (are you using an actual palatino font or a clone such as tex gyre pagella? – David Carlisle Feb 10 '16 at 00:18
  • I have uploaded an image of the errors that compiling the MWE gave me. – Guilherme Vargas Feb 10 '16 at 00:30
  • your expl3 and fontspec packages are out of sync, update both and you should be fine. (In general it is better to show exact errors from the log file in code section so line breaks preserved, rather than an image of a summary of the errors, but in this case an update should be all you need) – David Carlisle Feb 10 '16 at 07:59
  • Using MikTeX's update software gives me no available updates, though. – Guilherme Vargas Feb 10 '16 at 12:37
  • sorry I know nothing about miktex, someone will pass by though. Whatever the system is telling you your expl3 is too old for the version of fontspec you are using – David Carlisle Feb 10 '16 at 12:41
  • all the errors after the first are spurious, it did not understand the test for luatex (undefined control sequence) and so it failed to skip the luatex-specific code and all the other errors are xetex not understanding luatex-specific code. – David Carlisle Feb 10 '16 at 12:43
  • Did you run the update manager as admin and as user? http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/108447/35864 – Ulrike Fischer Feb 10 '16 at 16:11
  • @UlrikeFischer: after updating it (the user mode had updates I didn't get) the errors went away, but the problem still exists; the \SI{2}{\ohm} still gives me an output without the ohm symbol. – Guilherme Vargas Feb 10 '16 at 20:29
  • @UlrikeFischer : I found out that removing the fontspec package worked (both compiling with XeLaTeX and PDFLaTeX). I'm not sure that's a good solution, though. – Guilherme Vargas Feb 11 '16 at 00:09

    Just FYI, with an updated (as of today) TeXLive 2015, I do not see the ohm unit if \usepackage[euler-digits]{eulervm} is included. I do get the warning Package eulervm Warning: Unknown Operator Encoding!, (eulervm) Math accents may be wrong: assuming OT1 positions. – Peter Grill Feb 11 '16 at 00:24

Load the packages in the correct order and set up siunitx to use \Omega from Euler Math:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[euler-digits]{eulervm}

\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}

\usepackage{siunitx}

\sisetup{
  math-ohm=\Omega,
  text-ohm=\ensuremath{\Omega},
}

\begin{document}

Text \SI{2}{\ohm}

Math $\SI{2}{\ohm}$

\end{document}

  • So you set siunitx to use \Omega as the Ohm symbol. Why did you need to do that? I suppose that the current package is missing that setup? – Guilherme Vargas Mar 16 '16 at 13:21
  • @GuilhermeVargas I believe that siunitx recognizes being called along with fontspec and adjusts things for that, but you're tweaking it for using Euler and things should be fixed back. – egreg Mar 16 '16 at 13:55

You will have to switch to T1 encoding for the short time of using the Omega-symbol of eulervm. This could look like this:

% arara: xelatex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[euler-digits]{eulervm}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Palatino Linotype}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\sisetup{math-ohm={\fontencoding{T1}\selectfont \Omega}}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\blindtext 
Now as we had such great text in Palatino Linotype (It's the only one I could find on my system), let us test a text version \SI{1}{\ohm}, a inline-math version $\SI{1}{\ohm}$, and the very same just set without \verb|siunitx| as $1\,\Omega$. They look the same.

Finally there is just left to say:
\blindtext
