>>Hi,
>>I am a long time LyX user and I am kind of in trouble. I am giving a
>>presentation on Friday and I kinda bet on that I can do it with LyX/pstricks
>>just as good as with Powerpoint. The presentation has lots and lots of
formulas
>>and some screenshots too.
>>
>>I am using foiltex with a modified layout file that lets me put graded
>>background behind the slides. Then I convert to pdf with ps2pdf because I can
>>not get pdflatex to work with pstricks.
>>My problem is of course the fonts... They just look crappy on the
projector....
>>especially the math fonts.
Don't know for math, but helvetica adobe should be used for text fonts:
\usepackage{times}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
>>So what can I do, I know there was a lengthy discussion on Type1 fonts here
>>lately but I dont understand the whole issue....
>>Can anyone clue me in on this or give me pointer where to find
>>__comprehensive__ (Remember I am under time pressure big time :-) information?
>>Are there fonts optimized for the screen, i.e. 75dpi ?
>>Are there better math fonts than the default? And most importantly how would I
>>use these?
>>Any clues on how to get figures (gif png whatever) into the presentation
>>without scaling these, i.e. in there original resolution so they dont look
>>crappy?
scale the graphs to the final size using convert, like
convert -geometry 50% foo.png foo.eps
IM gurus should know better perhaps about how to improve resolution.
>>I very much appreciate any help on this. Yes, I will start earlier next
>>time but some things never change....
I suppose you need pdf to have it full screen, I have a perl script here
which rewrites the viewgraphs as 4/3 (i.e. 29x21 PORTRAIT).
If you need it let me know.
