For help to my client, I'm looking for a freelance expert for formal logic, who knows how to formulate proofs, and to write in latex. A complete mastery of English, a doctorate, and an example of an article published with proofs of logic.
600 NIS per hour for the appropriate candidate Please do ...
@DavidCarlisle So what you are saying is, I can't get there from here, until some indeterminate point in the future? That's an OK answer, as it just means that if I want to develop a class that imports pre-specified images, to work across engines, I just have to make sure the pre-specified images have suitable names in their pdf and eps forms.
@StevenB.Segletes partly or just that I didn't want to look at the details at that time:-) You may find Heiko's grffile package does what you need already, but we do hope to get some general support for filenames with spaces into latex, but it will not make the cut for the first texlive 2019 release
@mickep hi mick! I found that symbol because it is what "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" says, but in 2009 a guy gave and advice of the use of ^T, so I do not know why I have said that LOL! So I guess I will use ^T :). THanks!!
The earliest mention I can find is the SGML standard (1986) which lists intcal in its additional mathematical symbols list under "binary and large operators" the definition being (in full)
<!ENTITY intcal SDATA "[intcal]"--/intercal B: intercal-->
which means the the entity ⊺ could be u...
has anyone played with the sansmathfonts package? It seems nicer than the default font when used in beamer. But, I get a lot of
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OMS/cmsssy/b/n' in size <15.93346> not available (Font) size <17.28> substituted on input line 320.
probably since they are specified descretly in the fd files. As far as I can see it iis using PFB files, so how can we get this to just optically scale?
I'm trying to combine it with our standard sans serif font, which does not have math support. Just replacing a-zA-Z0-9 and the operators font with this text font, seems to be working so far.
This is just for a special case. We are not allowed to redistribute the main font I use here (just changed the family default). Default will probably just be using the default beamer font setup
Hmm, that does not work as it gives some mk errors. I'd probably need to take a look in the fd files that comes with the package. It this the idea for all of them?
@daleif I didn't check which fonts are available (just edited the lines from thee existing fd) but <5-10>gen*cmsssy% ought to be wrong as if you ask for a 5.5pt font it will (I think) try to load cmssy5.5.tfm, which is why I split it up into ranges (cf the entries in fix-cm.sty for the standard cm shapes. But what works, works:-)
@DavidCarlisle ahh, that makes sense. did not know the syntax (and my test file isn't that large.
Isn't there also an extra syntax one can add to these to scale the font? alpha, beta etc almost matches the font size for the text
I've been looking through a few packages to see how the scaled option works. But not many provides it.
Just noticed one last issue that I does not have a grip of either. As mentioned I'm substituting all the letters and numbers to come from a different font. How do we get \bm to with with that? and \mathbf for that matter.
@daleif for bm you need to set up the bold math version (then bm uses the fonts from there in teh normal math version
@daleif cf\SetSymbolFont{letters} {bold}{OML}{cmm} {b}{it} oh that's exact;y what you did, bm should work then (if loaded after that, and you haave enough slots left)
BTW: texdoc fontenc just gives me the encguide, which does not explain much
One thing I like about sansmathfonts is that it fixes \mathrm in beamer (probably just sets it to \mathsf. I;ve never understod why this was not the default.
@JosephWright Thanks for the link to the duck shop in Amsterdam. The following duck is actually from this shop - it reminded me of the former incarnation of @PauloCereda as bee duck :)
@DavidCarlisle I'm wondering, would it make sense to email the maintainer of sansmathfonts (I can see that beamer already loads sansmathaccent of the same person) and have those .fs files changed. It does not really seem necessary to use discrete sizes when we are dealing with non-mf fonts.
@daleif sounds sensible to me, we only keep the cm ones at discrete sizes for very basic article class compat from the beginning of time it doesn't make sense for new fonts at all really, even if metafont has to generate a few bitmaps disk space isn't quite as it was in 1985.... and for scalable fonts it makes no sense at all
@DavidCarlisle well yes, but it is a bit naive from such a tool to use a package like that. Since 6 or 7 years it has the "don't use, unmaintained" sign, and now every one is surprised that it broke.
@UlrikeFischer no one reads documentation, I once thought my subtle abstract at the top of the blkarray doc would discourage people from using it, but apparently not.
@DavidCarlisle ;-). tagpdf says at the begin "This package is not meant for normal document production.". And the last feedback I got was from a guy who made a 200 page document with it.
@DavidCarlisle just read on the winedt mailing list: "If the filename contains unicode characters [other than those that can be translated in your default code page] than this is a known limitation with SumatraPDF and Synctex." Did anyone ever tested how synctex reacts to non-ascii files names?
@DavidCarlisle I've sent an email to the apparent author. After playing with this all day, I don't think the approach of using sansmathfonts and then attempting to substitute the letters and 0-9 is going to work (note this has to work with pdflatex). I'm using \DeclareMathSymbol to redefine a-zA-Z0-9, but this does not affect \mathbf, \bm, \mathit, etc. Setting the letters font, does not work as it is a text font I'm using, so no greek.
Perhaps figuring out how to do a virtual font might be easier to work with.
