+
+Hi Everybody,
+
+I am using "\usepackage{times}" within a document in order to
+use outline fonts. But, the fonts used in math mode are not affected
+by this and are still included as bitmap fonts. So, here is my question:
+
+What is the "cheapest" way to use outline fonts in math mode?
+
+I tried the following, which works in principle:
+
+ \SetSymbolFont{operators}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{n}
+ \SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{n}
+ \SetSymbolFont{letters}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{it}
+ \SetSymbolFont{letters}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{it}
+
+But unfortunately, I don't know which font to specify for the symbols:
+
+ \SetSymbolFont{symbols}{...}{...}{...}{...}{...}
+
+how could the above line look like?
+
+Another problem is that the character mapping is somewhat different,
+i.e. I get "," (in my document) mapped to ";" (in the print-out).
+
+So, what is the correct way to typeset math in lets say times italic?
+
+Can anybody help me, please?
+
+Thanks in advance!
+
+Best Regards,
+

+Subject: fields not to be passed to BiBTeX
+
+I am now downloading references to papers from databases such as
+medline,
+which I insert in my bib files.
+
+The medline `entry' comes with a lot of useful fields, such as full
+abstract and notes, keywords etc, good to keep in your own database for
+future search. The thing is that, although useful, I don't want the
+`Note'
+category to appear in the bbl file, for example because the full
+author's
+address is there and I don't need it in my list of references..
+
+Do I set this manually in the bib file (I have tried putting an asterisk
+`note*' in it but without success) or is it a bibliography style issue?
+
+Thanks
+
+Massimo

+
+Hi everybody,
+
+The standard pagestyle of e.g. "report" is to put chapter and section
+tit=
+les
+into the headline (two side printing), while text in headlines is set in
+smallcaps (\sc). This is fine, but causes a problem under some
+circumstan=
+ces:
+
+The title of a chapter of my document contains the german word "Ma=DFe"
+(which means something like "measurement"). Since the german sharp s
+"=DF=
+"
+is not available in uppercase, LaTeX maps it to "ss". This would be O.K.
+in principle,but the result is the word "Masse" which has a completely
+different meaning (it means "mass"). This is not acceptable!
+
+I solution I could live with would be to print the sharp s "=DF" as it
+is=
+,
+even it would be a single lowercase letter in between uppercase letters.
+How can I achieve this? (It is not sufficient to type \textrm{\3}!)
+
+Does anybody has an idea ?
+
+Thanks in advance!
+

+Subject: Question about the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts
+
+Hi all,
+
+ We are using the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts (cmps-unix.tar.gz)
+and we have seen some strange behaviour with some characters :
+
+ Using the following latex file and displaying the results
+(dvips -> ghostview) the oblique lines are missing and the "radical"
+too.
+
+ If I suppress the cmsy* and line10 from the cmfonts.map (using
+the pk files then) all is good.
+
+Any idea ?
+
+Thanks
+
