I have a text file with similar lines as this one:



enter image description here



I am using:



usepackage[utf8x]inputenc%
usepackagetextalpha % <--- Greek letters in text


But still the output looks like this:



enter image description here



How can I make it work?



Here is the code



documentclassarticle%
usepackage[utf8]inputenc%
usepackagetextalpha % <--- Greek letters in text

begindocument%
begingroup %I am using that because I am actually importing a text file 
noindent
obeyline
inputaᵢ₁x₁ + aᵢ₂x₂ + ... + aₙ₁xₙ = bᵢ%
endgroup%

BTW: If I open the text file with Word Pad, it looks like this:

If you want to input a utf-8 encoded text file and just have it mostly work without caring too much what it looks like, then I'd suggest using a combination of



  • a unicode TeX engine (lualatex or xelatex)

  • a monospaced font with wide unicode coverage (e.g., DejaVu Sans Mono)

  • some verbatim environment (e.g., fancyvrb)

MWE



Compile this with xelatex or lualatex. Make sure you have the DejaVu Sans Mono font installed.



You can input a file directly by using VerbatimInputmyfile.txt. Looking at the file you have posted in your question, you'll need to edit it and wrap it to some sensible number of characters. I wrapped it to 70 characters, breaking at spaces to show you what you get. You might be able to do this automatically with some other verbatim environment (e.g., listings), but unicode support with listings can be a bit of a pain in my experience. minted might work but seems like overkill for your purposes.



It's not pretty, but will maybe do what you want.

  • You could modify the font used by Verbatim, it does not have to be monospaced (text will then be justified, which may be good or bad). It is also possible to modify the fontdimen3 and 4 of monospace font to allow text justification.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
