Hi, I confirm, underscore comes (.) in map comment. Same issue in the survey title, it looks like a bug or a special feature ;-) Regards, C.S. 2013/4/28 Andrew Atkinson <andrew@wotcc.org.uk>

When using

map-comment

if you put an underscore in it comes out as as period (.)

I am trying to include a web address that includes underscore.

Metapost tells me that \textunderscore or \_

but that only works in metapost /comment, which is a bit of a pain, and not in map-comment directly.

Is there a way of using it directly in map-comment?

thanks

This is the expected behavior: all characters missing in currently used font are substituted by a dot (and default TeX fonts don't contain underscore). The easiest solution is to use truetype or opentype unicode fonts. See section Initialization files in thbook, commands pdf-fonts and otf2pfb (notice, they are to be used in initialization, not configuration file). M.
