[texhax] Help with error

[hh]

Hello
there are redifinitions of \bibitem in ap-book-har.sty (lines 631, 635 and 751). 
I must look into them a bit more.

But for the error message - if I'm right - it would be enough to put an 
[in]visible character before the first item  in the bibitem list.

And I do not understand the entries in you log-file:
Missing character: There is no ´ in font ptmr7t!
Missing character: There is no - in font ptmr7t!

Would you be able to change the font to txfonts?
(Replace mathptmx by txfonts on line 1482 in ap-book975x65.cls). And have 
a further look at the log-file for "Missing character"?

I wonder which OS you are using? Looks like windows, but I might be wrong.

For Windows  the start of the main-file should look like this:

\documentclass[fleqn]{book}  %this is one of my works, just forget it
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
% correct fuer Windows-OS 
%
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[varg]{txfonts}


I will have a deeper look when the time allows. Sorry at the moment.
