Latex - how to get non-italic UK "pound" sign
I'm using MikTex. When I do
\usepackage{times}
and then use \pound or \textsterling in non-maths mode, I get the italic version of the "pound" symbol from the Times Roman font. I want a non-italic pound symbol.
I also get this message in the .log file
LaTeX Font Info: Font shape `OT1/ptm/m/ui' in size <10> not available
(Font) Font shape `OT1/ptm/m/it' tried instead
I guess this is something to do with the font encoding, system not the font itself. The standard Time Roman fonts certainly include both "roman" and "italic" shaped pound symbols. Gee, even MS Word can display them so it can't be hard
How can I get the symbol that I want, not the symbol LaTeX thinks I ought to want?
