Hi David, Options were default, note that includes paper size a4, yours is letter. PDF isn't quite as portable as you think. Fonts and sizes depend on what I have my browser set to and Firefox makes a vague attempt to match that in the printout. So unless you happen to have your font sizes set the same it will be different. By the way, why are we printing to PDF from HTML when you have just went to a lot of trouble to make a tool chain to get PDF from asciidoc :-S ? Your missing math example looks rather like you don't have a font that Firefox wants, but I think it is probably more about bugs you get living on the bleeding edge like you are. I guess you always wanted to be a test pilot :-) My way of avoiding Cocknonical's stupid UI is to use Linux Mint which bases itself on Ubuntu but has a sensible desktop. > > As I mentioned I am using the standard CSS for this page.

Ah yes I've forgotten to complain about your unlimited width text documents despite it being my current campaign. Based on readability studies the W3C recommends text streams be limited to a maximum of about 80 characters which is 35-40 ems. So add :max-width: 40em at the top of your asciidoc and it will set the maximum for HTML. And if I catch you fixing the font sizes or setting the width to pixels or inches or mm I'll have you boiled in oil and your bleached bones left out for the Coyotes to nibble. :-( Literals you are going to have to manually limit since "literal" tells the tools to not do anything with the contents. > > I have already exhausted all my excess brain cells figuring out how to > get this all to work with what has been documented so far.
