AMC doesn't work with unicode-math (LuaLaTeX)?

Added by Davide G.M. Salvetti over 10 years ago

Hello,

I'm unable to mix \usepackage{unicode-math} with LuaLaTex and AMC.

Consider the attached `a.tex' file: compiling with `lualatex a' works as expected; uncommenting `\usepackage{unicode-math}' and compiling with `lualatex a' does not give errors, but doesn't work as expected: there appears no `Question 1' where it should, one gets `?q' instead, where `q' is the question label. Moreover, adding the `box' option as in `\usepackage[box]{automultiplechoice}' results in errors (see attached file a.log).

I'm having troubles understanding what happens behind the scences, could somebody help me?

Thanks,

The same problem occurs with xelatex.
It seems that unicode-math redefines the \question command through the unicode-math-table.tex file:

\UnicodeMathSymbol{"0003F}{\question                 }{\mathord}{question mark}%

This breaks AMC's question environment.
Try to change this line to something like
\UnicodeMathSymbol{"0003F}{\tquestion                }{\mathord}{question mark}%

This is obviously not a good solution, but let's first see if it works.

Thank you, I can confirm it works.

FTR, I copied the `unicode-math-table.tex' file into the project directory, edited it with `s/\question/\questionmark/' and verified that everything works as expected.
