I'm trying to include copyright © or registered ® symbols in my document. However they look terrible! As far as I can tell it is generating a small caps letter with a big circle around it (not even centered).
I have tried using \textregistered
and also using [utf]{inputenc}
and putting the symbol in directly… they both look the same.
I am using [utopia]{mathdesign}
for the fonts – perhaps this is something to do with it?

Use the
textcomp
package, which offers a\textregistered
symbol (both serif and sans-serif), different to standard LaTeX which uses\textcircled
.Output:
Here are the original LaTeX definitions from latex.ltx:
If designed symbols like those of textcomp wouldn't fit to your text font, you could use
\textcircled
similarly to create a symbol with the used font together with some correction if necessary, with\raisebox
etc.For ConTeXt, use the
\registered{}
and\trademark{}
macros.
