Hello!
Someone on this list recently helped me when I wanted the figure captions to
be clearly differentiable from the normal text and said I should include
%% Set the captions to be italic
\newcommand\myCaption[1]{\itshape\refstepcounter{figure}%
\begin{center}\figurename\ \thefigure :\ #1\end{center}\upshape}
\let\caption\myCaption
in my Preamble. This works fine for DVI output.
But when I use dvipdf and other pdf generating methods the Caption comes out
as if the \itshape never happened.
Anyone able to help me?
