I trying to editing some font using FontLab Studio 5.1 but when i have finished and i save the work, one time that i have close the program and i try to reopen the .otf file, it is remained at the older version without any change. Is Python needed?

I know that standard latex and nitrile gloves don't stop common organic solvents such as DCM and acetone. However, I was reading a Reddit thread and there were comments that if you are coming into contact with solvents you are just wearing the wrong type of gloves. In a non-manufacturer specific ...

@JasperLoy To be honest, the hardware specs from other vendors (HP, Dell, Lenovo) were very poor with a very expensive price. I'm ok with Mac, Linux and Windows, but the Apple hardware was tempting because it had everything I was looking for (great specs, a nice design and awesome performance). I have an old MacBook and it still works better than one of my most recent notebooks. >>
>> I thought of customizing the specs I wanted, but good hardware stuff is very hard to find here in Brazil, besides of also being very expensive. So Apple was the best option I have - and I love the underlying DarwinOS in MacOS. :)
@PauloCereda Hi Paulo. I noticed I was suggested for a TeXtalk interview, but I was wondering if the group could interview Philip Kime (PLK) instead. biblatex 2.0 was recently uploaded to CTAN. He's done a lot of great work getting this release together.
@Audrey Hi Audrey! :) Sure! We can interview him. :) We are waiting for Aditya to pick a date, but I don't think there would be a problem to reschedule the interviews. :)
@PLK: We would love to interview you. :) Currently, we have one interview on hold (Aditya, our resident ConTeXt expert), but there's no date yet. We will try to contact him and pick a date. Then I think we can schedule the next interview with you. :) Of if Aditya wants to change the order (you first, then him), it's OK with us. :) @JosephWright: sounds ok? :)
Maybe it is just my poor math skills or maybe it would make sense to write a question. I want to plot a function with conditional statements (or whatever they are called), e.g. those that you would write with `cases` macros such as f = bla if x => 1 and bla2 if x < 1. Are there any package that can plot such functions? I found sgn in gnuplot which is defined as sgn(x) 1 if x > 0, -1 if x < 0, 0 if x=0
If you are using pgfplots you can use pgfmathdeclarefunction to specify the function and then use it the same way you would just a built in function. You can then plot is all at once if you want the end points connected, or plot each section separately:

@MarcoDaniel did you see that mdframed/longtable question? Any chance of you re-inserting LT headers when doing a vsplit? (it might help if I restructured things a bit differently in LT which I was thinking of doing so things worked better (or at all) in multicol or minipage etc...
Ah, I don't think it matters which mdframed option you use the heading goes from later pages unconditionally Sorry I didn't notice that in my answer. See if I can summon @MarcoDaniel As far as I can see mdframed uses vsplit to split the page "by hand" rather than relying on the output routine to do it. Thus LTs output routine never gets invoked to re-insert the heading. mdframed could probably detect its splitting a longtable and insert the head....... — David Carlisleyesterday
@MarcoDaniel if youre using vsplit you wouldn't use that bit of LT but what you could do having split is put \LT@head@box at the top of the split box so the table head restarts, perhaps:-=)
@JosephWright I see. But, forgive my ignorance, I am unaware of these things. While I know they exist, I don't know why they exist and how to use them.
@JosephWright good luck, I think I first became aware of how many people used latex when we put out one of the early 2e releases with an \fbox that didn't work (because I'd messed it up doing colour stuff I think)
@JosephWright Can you take a look the suggested edit for the convert TeX to MSWord question. I'm inclined to reject it, but I see what the editor is doing, given what the OP did to the question. What do you think?
@egreg Not sure if key-value helps much here: a bit XML-like. One of the still-undecided questions is how to deal with this entire area (see the two approaches in xcoffins, for example)
@AlanMunn I see what you mean: better as a comment, perhaps?
\DeclareDocumentCommand { \makebox } { o > { \SplitArgument { 1 } { , } } d ( ) O { c } +m }
@JosephWright Well, the fact that the OP has made comments on all the other answers, fair is fair, I guess. I don't like that original decision, but now that it's been made, maybe chandra's edit is appropriate.
@JosephWright It seems that other than typos and English we should generally discourage substantive edits to questions. Answers are a different matter.
@egreg No, I don't think so. If you go for > { \SplitArgument { 1 } { , } } d ( ) o O { c } +m then how do you cleanly handle the second optional argument for the picture syntax?
@PauloCereda You do know why you're getting all the duck grief, don't you? Your duck's beak is too pointy for our understanding of what a duck is. It's a kind of Frankenduck.
I am just working on a document (a series of exercises for one of my classes), which uses both the SI and US customary unit systems (different exercises use different systems). I am trying to typeset the units in a consistent way. I am using the excellent siunitx package, and add the US units m...
@KannappanSampath Better for setting up 'non-standard' layouts. LaTeX's kernel is far too inflexible in this regard, with many hard-coded decisions. Supports XML better. ...
In the spirit of a free-form Friday on StackOverflow, I'd like to know if I should consider learning ConTeXt. What got me into LaTeX way back in 1994 was having structural markup that made longer documents easier to write. What got me into XeTeX was being able to use my Mac's fonts just like I ...
@AlanMunn: I borrowed my dad's "Aves brasileiras" guide and found a ton of birds from the "duck family". I must confess my "duck" might be a distant cousin. :)
@Jake Thanks. :) I'm far from being a wizard though. :) When we came up with the Mario-based chapter styles and the Yoshi macro, I think we somehow realized that LaTeX can be used for nearly everything. I think children books can be a nice example where we can combine cute elements with great typography. My drawing skills are not so good, but I hope the idea can flourish. :) I was thinking of a "sun" containing the page number in the margin. :)
@N3buchadnezzar LOL you made me spill my Pepsi. :P
@egreg Are you sure you're not switching your specialty to category theory? You seem to be very sure about what is and isn't in a category. First music, now dogs and cats.
It is like saying: "Well technically his answer is easier, but that lad cheated; he has used this bloody package before! Back in the days we had no posh \pgfplotsinvokeforeach command."
Is it safe to use \AtEndDocument{\immediate\write18{cp -p \jobname.pdf ../.}}? Just want to make sure that there is not a case where something still needs to be shipped out? This seems to do what I want in the small test case.
@PeterGrill no, I would guess. I don't think there is any guarantee that the file is on the file system complete by that point, what with IO buffering in the application or at the system level or whatever.
@DavidCarlisle I was going to add a flag to the file for the case where it is still begin worked on, so then it would not execute the copy in that case to the distribution directory.
but still produce an output in the working directory so that I can review
@PeterGrill If you are not too rude about his platypus @PauloCereda will supply you with a conditional arara rule so you could still control it from the file...
