Re: Beamer multitude problems with lyx

2010-06-03 Thread Eran Kaplinsky

Syntax is a beautiful typeface, but in my experience the digital implementation looks nothing like the specimen in Bringhurst. For a thesis, I would recommend exclusive use of MinionPro. Headlines can be done in all caps and small caps, or in bold. Math symbols and Greek are included. Works

remapping the en dash

2010-11-22 Thread Eran Kaplinsky
