I'm currently writing a thesis on Sharelatex using the Harvard template, which has a harvard-thesis.cls file, a separate thesis.tex file which contains the skeleton of the thesis, and a folder that contains the chapters separately. So far, everytime I've had to include a new package for my purposes, I've always used \RequirePackage{packagename} in the harvard-thesis.cls file (I still can't figure out when to use \usepackage in the thesis.tex instead, so I just stick to \RequirePackage in the class file). I want to use the tipa package for writing IPA characters in the thesis, while using a font of my choice (Times New Roman or Georgia) for the rest fo my text. I've tried everything I could, but I can't seem to figure out the correct way to do so. I keep getting package errors, linebreak errors, and I included/deleted so many packages that now my file refuses to even compile properly. I need help. Does anyone here know how to include the tipa package alongside another font for the rest of the document? Thanks in advance. 124.123.160.189 (talk) 10:41, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
OP here. (Hadn't logged in before posting that question. Also, why's this page suddenly semi-protected?) Thank you @SemanticMantis for those tips. I had tried getting a local install running on my Windows 7, but MikTeX gave me a lot of heartache and I gave up midway once I found ShareLaTeX. Also, it's easier to do collaborative work online, which means everyone else can see the updates without me having to notify them in person. Maybe I should try getting MikTex up and running though. I hear Sublime Text has very good LaTeX syntax highlighting and compiling features. La Alquimista 19:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Oh, and, I finally figured out what was wrong with my document. I'd forgotten to close off the curly braces of a figure caption and the compiler couldn't figure out the error. Silly me. =P (Not that tipa is working. But I'll figure that out another day. Probably will work with Unicode fonts instead. Right now, the only way to get tipa to work is to use Times New Roman as my main font, but I hate Times New Roman.) La Alquimista 19:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
