Do anyone know any algorithm which would calculate automatically kerning of characters based on glyph shapes when user types text?
I don't mean trivial calculation of advance widths or similar, I mean analyzing the shape of glyphs to estimate the visually optimal distance between characters. For...
@topskip I really want to understand how one designs a font... It looks like a complete operating system
so many weird details with obscure formats and other details. I've spent 5 hours the other day to make one font recognized by TeX in the correct folder. I don't remember how many folders I had to reposition ...
It was a mess so I had all the files in one folder and copied to everywhere until TeX finds it :)
@PauloCereda :-) My biggest problem with giving a LaTeX talk is that I have a minor speech impediment when it comes to words beginning with 'b'. The worst attack was when I was once describing the tabular environment and had to keep saying "backslash backslash".
@PauloCereda I'm always mega-impressed by people who are fluent in more than one language. My mother was brought up trilingual (her mother was Belgian) but although she tried to teach me, I never mastered either French or Portuguese.
@PauloCereda Yes. After mounting no extra icon or window was opened. Only on the left bar the mounted device was displayed. First time I didn't see it.
@PauloCereda That's a really bad example if you are trying to show people how bad your English is. Your spoken English on that recording is really rather good.
@Werner I don't vote that much either, I usually only think of voting if someone gives a better (or different) answer to a question I've answered (and I never think of voting for questions until the system tells me off for not voting)
@Werner yes it gets very cross and sticks a big banner across the screen every time you try to vote for an answer, saying not to forget to vote for questions.
Someone once mentioned that putting in the effort to answer a question should most certainly encourage the answerer to vote on the question...
...newcomers like Heiko might just not care about voting that much, and that's something that is encouraged here - good or bad!
Who knows, one day you'll have had enough of the banner, and either throw your computer out the window (when it's open, of course), or click the upvote on the question to shut "the system" up.
@Werner yes well I don't really do it for the votes either (except at the moment I need all the votes I can get to get past @PeterGrill again:-)
I suppose voting for questions that I answer might make some kind of sense and not take up too much thought on a decision process evaluating the questions....
@egreg In the context it's not actually that wrong as (as far as I can tell) it's using latex syntax as a linear markup syntax for converting to mathml just as markdown is converted to html. It's not actually using latex the engine (I think)
I am using LibreOffice with the plugin OOoLatex 4.0 under Windows 7 x64.
When I generate equations in PNG format (the images) I have no problem.
What happens is that if I select EMF instead, when I generate the equation, it gets cropped, I mean, you don't see the entire equation but only a part.
