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,

  Uwe Schneider

From: "Massimo Pinto" <pinto@graylab.ac.uk>
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!

Best Regards,

  Uwe Schneider

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

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 E_k}}$	% the radical part of sqrt is missing
\bigskip
\unitlength=1mm
\begin{picture}(140,20)(0,0)
\put(10,10){\line(1,0){95}}
\put(5,5){\line(1,0){95}}
\put(5,5){\line(1,1){5}}	% missing
\put(100,5){\line(1,1){5}}	% missing
\end{picture}
\end{document}

Hi latex gurus out there!
I'm a novice latex user.  Whilst I could compile the above
sample.tex file and can use xdvi to browse it, I cannot seem
to print it.  It keeps complaining about "standard input
empty" even though I know there is stuff in sample.dvi ...
Does anyone know what is going on here?  The printer works
fine and I can print OK.
Any help rendered would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance & have a nice day!
