+**************************************************************************
+
+
+[1] Is it possible to switch Acrobat Reader in full screen mode on startup?
+
+Yes. Just add 
+
+\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen}
+
+in the preamble of your LaTeX file.
+
+
+
+[2] How to use Type 1 fonts with MikTeX or teTeX?
+
+For both MikTeX and teTeX, you have to add at least the two lines:
+
+p +psfonts.cmz
+p +psfonts.amz
+
+
+For MikTeX:
+-----------
+Add the lines to the file \texmf\dvips\config\config.ps
+
+For teTeX:
+----------
+Add the lines to the file ~/.dvipsrc (create it if it does not exist already) 
+
+
+
+[3] Slide orientation is in portrait instead of landscape when viewed in PDF
+
+Two possible reasons for this: you did not choose the `pdf' option
+of prosper; or you have translated the PostScript file with ps2pdf
+coming with GNU GhostScript. GNU GhostScript (at least v. 5.10) has
+been reported to fail switching correctly the orientation. You should
+upgrade to Aladdin GhostScript 6.0 or above (see also next question).
+
+[4] The text of the slides in PDF is generally fine but some parts of it
+    and the equations are ugly. 
+
+This is usually due to the fact that your file contains bitmap
+fonts. Fonts in a PDF file should always be vectorial ones. When viewing 
+your PDF file With Acrobat Reader, go to File->Document Info->Fonts...
+You should not see any "Type 3" font in the list.
+Use Aladdin GhostScript v. 6.0 or above (with the associated fonts) to 
+translate your PostScript file. You must also ask dvips to use
+vectorial fonts when creating a PostScript file from your DVI (see 
+[2]).
+
+
+
+[5] The slides are cropped in an odd way such that the footer is not
+    completely visible.
+
+By default, GhostScript processes files assuming the pages are in
+letter format. Prosper standard styles assume a European A4
+format. You have to make GhostScript aware of the fact by using the
+option
+
+-sPAPERSIZE=a4
+
+when you use ps2pdf. You can alternatively set the variable GS_OPTIONS
+in your shell init file. E.g. in bash, put the following line in 
+your ~/.bash_profile:
+
+export GS_OPTIONS="-sPAPERSIZE=a4"
+
+
+
+[6] gv is really slow to display slides when I use some particular styles.
+
+Styles using gradients of colors are indeed really slow to display
+and appear usually ugly with gv when the antialias is ON. Just turn it
+OFF to fix the problem. 
+
+[7] Prosper does not seem to work with Acrobat Distiller to produce the 
+    PDF file.
+
+It does. However, it is mandatory to specify the "distiller" option in your
+LaTeX file.
