There is probably a glyph involved that is not encodable. The problematic 
glyph should immediately follow the string Figuer\ in your text. Looking at 
View  Source should also help finding it.

 First of all, I'd suggest you not worry about this right now. You say 
 you are in the planning stages, so you may change your mind about how 
 you want the book to look before you finish it. These details can wait 
 and be tweaked and changed when you're really ready...which is one of 
 the nice things about LyX and LaTeX.

That sounds like a good idea. I will wait.

 That said, changing fonts for headers and such is relatively simple, and 
 you don't need to mess with layout files. There is a LaTeX package, 
 titlesec, that can be used to do this. Documentation is here:
  
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/titlesec.pdf
 See the \titleformat command.
 
  This also affects the page headers, which I want to look a certain way.
  Because LyX is based on LaTeX, I know that various layouts can be set.
 
 
 Page headers are most easily set using the fancyhdr package. There's 
 some discussion of it in the LyX docs, more in the fancyhdr docs:
  
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf

That is all completely configurable in the KOMA-script classes. And 
probably more easily, and reliably, than using titlesec. That's the 
great benefit to KOMA-script: Almost nothing is hardcoded; rather, 
everything is put into LaTeX commands that can be changed. For example, 
for changing the font of a chapter heading, one does:

\setkomafont{chapter}{...whatever you want...}
Headings can also be configured easily in these classes.

Of course.

delete Unser Zeichen, ... from dinbrief

2010-09-14 Thread chs748

Hello,

As you will see from my question I am totally new to LyX. I tried
different searches on the web but couldn't find any help.

I like to use the dinbrief template for my private letters but don't
want to have the entries for Unser Zeichen, Sachberabeiter
and Telefon.

The template shows them as optional. However if I leave them blank I
still get the line with Unsere Zeichen, unsere Nachricht vom and
Telefon, Bearbeiter. How can I delete this text? I tried
editing the dinbrief.layout file but without success.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks for your suggestion.

Minh,


Hi,

I have seen this happen in a two-column document, when mixing tables of 
one- and two-column width (spanning columns). Does this description 
match your document? In this case it is a Latex problem which needs a 
Latex solution, but I haven't looked for one. What I did was to put the 
tables far enough apart in the document so that they never end up in 
reversed order. A better solution would be using a float barrier.


Cheers,

The reason for the iconv problem is that you have fi-Ligatures in your 
preamble instead of two separate characters fi. This applies to all occurences 
of figure in your preamble. Just retype the fis in the respective 
definitions.

I also get some other errors. The option option is unkown by the sidecap 
package, also there's a missing brace here:

 \newcommand{\TabBesEnd}{%
  \let\table\MyTable
  \let\endtable\MyEndtable}%---Closing brace added.

After fixing all this, the document compiles here.

Re: How to vertically center/align a small svg object with other graphics

2010-09-14 Thread Nikos Alexandris

Nikos Alexandris:

  I 've already tried that (before posting) but the images have to be
  smaller (too small for me) to fit in an A4 page.

Paul Rubin:

 Is that because there is extra white space within/between table cells? 
 That space can be reduced.

Hmm... maybe you are right, did not think of that.

  Is there really no option to center
  a graphical object?
 
 Other than a table, the only solution I know is to put each image in a box
 (minipage will do), set the box width and/or height appropriately, leave
 the vertical content alignment at top (default) and set the vertical box
 alignment to middle (every box).

That I did not think as well or I rejected the idea as being too time-
expensive.

Will try and report within the next days. Thank you for your ideas Paul, Nikos

I'm using 1.6.7 on Windows.

Thanks for suggesting the EmbeddedObjects manual as a test. The version of that

 I like to use the dinbrief template for my private letters but don't
 want to have the entries for Unser Zeichen, Sachberabeiter

 The template shows them as optional. However if I leave them blank I
 still get the line with Unsere Zeichen, unsere Nachricht vom and
 Telefon, Bearbeiter. How can I delete this text? I tried
 editing the dinbrief.layout file but without success.

Start a new document from the template (and save it under a different name). 
Put the cursor at the end of the Unsere Zeichen line and start backspacing. 
You'll know when you've backspaced enough. :-)

 Dear LyX-peoples...
 
 I have a few questions concerning layout, typesetting and fonts.
 (I am using LyX 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.04)
 
 I am in the planning stage of writing a music theory textbook (which
 will be Creative-Commons licensed!) and I am therefore using the book
 class in the Document Setting dialogue. It is easy for me to choose
 Helvetica and Utopia for my Sans Serif and Roman fonts, respectively,
 and I am more than happy with my choice.
 
 However, I would like to tweak a lot of these settings so that my
 headings are in the Sans font, and my content in the Roman font. Using
 the KOMA-script book class is not an option.
 
 I have been going through the Wiki and the built-in Customization
 documentation, but I have no skill in writing *.layout files. I have
 tried, but I cannot seem to do what I want to do.
 
 This also affects the page headers, which I want to look a certain way.
 Because LyX is based on LaTeX, I know that various layouts can be set.
 
 Is there someone who can direct me in the right way to learn how to
 change my settings the way I want them? I would really like to learn how
 to tweak these settings in a few hours rather than weeks learning
 complex LaTeX code.
 
 Thanks!

Hi Etienne,

I feel your pain. The changes you describe would be so simple in WordPerfect 
and MS Word, and s difficult in LyX. And you'll find out that a lot of 
people ask well why don't you just use the defaults, why do you want to 
micromanage your document's appearance? You've identified the main deficiency 
in LyX -- everything else about it is wonderful. 

You mention you have no skill in writing layout files. Most folks don't. It's 
gruelling, difficult work, and I'd estimate that getting all your styles the 
way you want them will take you between 3 and 5 days of work -- a long time 
but not so long compared to the time it takes to write a book, and don't 
forget LyX saves you writing time in a hundred different ways.

I was in your exact position in 2001 (actually, I kind of still am), so I 
wrote several documents about making your own layouts and learning LaTeX for 
the purpose of layouts.

Here's the set of links for my LyX documentations and tutorials:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm

I'll give you one more word of wisdom. It gets better. As time goes on you 
learn the in's and out's of making environments and character styles, and you 
learn how to quickly make dummy environments to get on with your writing, and 
later on go back and make your styles exactly how you want them.

 The reason for the iconv problem is that you have fi-Ligatures in your

 occurences of figure in your preamble. Just retype the fis in the
 respective definitions.

 I also get some other errors. The option option is unkown by the sidecap

Thanks Jürgen. Now it works here too. I had copied the sidecap text from the

However the sidecap package is not effective (does it work with Koma-book and

Windows setup/directory structure

2010-09-14 Thread Maria Gouskova

Dear LyX users,

I am not a Windows user myself but am trying to help some people
duplicate my setup on a Windows machine. On a *nix-based system, such
as my Mac OS, the custom packages and the bib and bst files all live
in the texmf directory, like this:

HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/...
HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/...
HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/tex/latex/...

I would like to be able to just give these people a zipped texmf
folder, so they can unzip it to the proper location. But what is the
standard location for this directory on Windows systems? Is there one?
I also don't have the specifics of their OSes (i.e., whether they use
XP, Vista, or 7), but I need answers for each version if they are
different.

Thank you!

Yes, it's done in the preamble, but the {...whatever you want...} part 
has to consist of LaTeX commands, e.g.:

\setkomafont{chapter}{\normalfont\sfseries\Large}
will make the chapter headings sans serif and Large. (The \normalfont 
just makes sure to reset everything else.) There's also:

\addtokomafont{chapter}{\sfseries}
which will set them to sans serif but otherwise leave them as without 
that command.


Any font command can be used here, including commands to select very 
specific fonts.

Most people on Windows use either miktex or texlive.

I should add that they all used MikTeX, and we tried putting texmf in
C:\ and also in the Program Files folder (I think basically as
C:\Program Files\texmf).

What confuses me is that in Mac OS, LyX finds all the stuff inside the
texmf folder automaticallly after reconfiguring. Does this happen in
Windows? If not, is there something that needs to be done inside LyX
to help it find the correct texmf path? I am sure we missed something
really obvious.

Whoops. I must've stopped reading that sentence when I got to the premise, To
make a complete formula bold, because I wasn't interested in making the whole
formula bold, just the one symbol.

I just read http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek

Seems like \mathbf is an anachronism. If \boldsymbol covers all uppercase Greek
letters and thus completely subsumes the use case for \mathbf, then perhaps
\mathbf shouldn't be so easy to access in LyX.

 First of all, I'd suggest you not worry about this right now. You say 
 you are in the planning stages, so you may change your mind about how 
 you want the book to look before you finish it. These details can wait 
 and be tweaked and changed when you're really ready...which is one of 
 the nice things about LyX and LaTeX.

That sounds like a good idea. I will wait.

 That said, changing fonts for headers and such is relatively simple, and 
 you don't need to mess with layout files. There is a LaTeX package, 
 titlesec, that can be used to do this. Documentation is here:
  
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/titlesec.pdf
 See the \titleformat command.
 
  This also affects the page headers, which I want to look a certain way.
  Because LyX is based on LaTeX, I know that various layouts can be set.
 
 
 Page headers are most easily set using the fancyhdr package. There's 
 some discussion of it in the LyX docs, more in the fancyhdr docs:

That is all completely configurable in the KOMA-script classes. And 
probably more easily, and reliably, than using titlesec. That's the 
great benefit to KOMA-script: Almost nothing is hardcoded; rather, 
everything is put into LaTeX commands that can be changed. For example, 
for changing the font of a chapter heading, one does:

\setkomafont{chapter}{...whatever you want...}
Headings can also be configured easily in these classes.

 There is probably a glyph involved that is not encodable. The problematic

delete Unser Zeichen, ... from dinbrief

2010-09-14 Thread chs748

Hello,

As you will see from my question I am totally new to LyX. I tried
different searches on the web but couldn't find any help.

I like to use the dinbrief template for my private letters but don't
want to have the entries for Unser Zeichen, Sachberabeiter
and Telefon.

The template shows them as optional. However if I leave them blank I
still get the line with Unsere Zeichen, unsere Nachricht vom and
Telefon, Bearbeiter. How can I delete this text? I tried
editing the dinbrief.layout file but without success.

Thanks, Chris

In the meantime I found the reason, it has to do with the following preamble

had tried it with the preamble emptied, but forgot apparently to press apply.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Minh,


Hi,

I have seen this happen in a two-column document, when mixing tables of 
one- and two-column width (spanning columns). Does this description 
match your document? In this case it is a Latex problem which needs a 
Latex solution, but I haven't looked for one. What I did was to put the 
tables far enough apart in the document so that they never end up in 
reversed order. A better solution would be using a float barrier.


Cheers,
Julien

The reason for the iconv problem is that you have fi-Ligatures in your 
preamble instead of two separate characters fi. This applies to all occurences 
of figure in your preamble. Just retype the fis in the respective 
definitions.

I also get some other errors. The option option is unkown by the sidecap 
package, also there's a missing brace here:

 \newcommand{\TabBesEnd}{%

  \let\endtable\MyEndtable}%---Closing brace added.

After fixing all this, the document compiles here.

Re: How to vertically center/align a small svg object with other graphics

2010-09-14 Thread Nikos Alexandris

Nikos Alexandris:

  I 've already tried that (before posting) but the images have to be
  smaller (too small for me) to fit in an A4 page.

Paul Rubin:

 Is that because there is extra white space within/between table cells? 
 That space can be reduced.

Hmm... maybe you are right, did not think of that.

  Is there really no option to center
  a graphical object?
 
 Other than a table, the only solution I know is to put each image in a box
 (minipage will do), set the box width and/or height appropriately, leave
 the vertical content alignment at top (default) and set the vertical box
 alignment to middle (every box).

That I did not think as well or I rejected the idea as being too time-
expensive.

Will try and report within the next days. Thank you for your ideas Paul, Nikos

Start a new document from the template (and save it under a different name). 
Put the cursor at the end of the Unsere Zeichen line and start backspacing.

 Dear LyX-peoples...
 
 I have a few questions concerning layout, typesetting and fonts.
 (I am using LyX 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.04)
 
 I am in the planning stage of writing a music theory textbook (which
 will be Creative-Commons licensed!) and I am therefore using the book
 class in the Document Setting dialogue. It is easy for me to choose
 Helvetica and Utopia for my Sans Serif and Roman fonts, respectively,
 and I am more than happy with my choice.
 
 However, I would like to tweak a lot of these settings so that my
 headings are in the Sans font, and my content in the Roman font. Using
 the KOMA-script book class is not an option.
 
 I have been going through the Wiki and the built-in Customization
 documentation, but I have no skill in writing *.layout files. I have
 tried, but I cannot seem to do what I want to do.
 
 This also affects the page headers, which I want to look a certain way.
 Because LyX is based on LaTeX, I know that various layouts can be set.
 
 Is there someone who can direct me in the right way to learn how to
 change my settings the way I want them? I would really like to learn how
 to tweak these settings in a few hours rather than weeks learning
 complex LaTeX code.
 
 Thanks!

Hi Etienne,

I feel your pain. The changes you describe would be so simple in WordPerfect 
and MS Word, and s difficult in LyX. And you'll find out that a lot of 
people ask well why don't you just use the defaults, why do you want to 
micromanage your document's appearance? You've identified the main deficiency 
in LyX -- everything else about it is wonderful. 

You mention you have no skill in writing layout files. Most folks don't. It's 
gruelling, difficult work, and I'd estimate that getting all your styles the 
way you want them will take you between 3 and 5 days of work -- a long time 
but not so long compared to the time it takes to write a book, and don't 
forget LyX saves you writing time in a hundred different ways.

I was in your exact position in 2001 (actually, I kind of still am), so I 
wrote several documents about making your own layouts and learning LaTeX for 
the purpose of layouts.

Here's the set of links for my LyX documentations and tutorials:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm

I'll give you one more word of wisdom. It gets better. As time goes on you 
learn the in's and out's of making environments and character styles, and you 
learn how to quickly make dummy environments to get on with your writing, and 
later on go back and make your styles exactly how you want them.

Thanks Jürgen. Now it works here too. I had copied the sidecap text from the

f-Ligature is copied too.
However the sidecap package is not effective (does it work with Koma-book and

 wrote several documents about making your own layouts and learning LaTeX for 
 the purpose of layouts.
 
 Here's the set of links for my LyX documentations and tutorials:
 
 http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm
 
 I'll give you one more word of wisdom. It gets better. As time goes on you 
 learn the in's and out's of making environments and character styles, and you 
 learn how to quickly make dummy environments to get on with your writing, and 
 later on go back and make your styles exactly how you want them.


Thanks so much for the friendly reply! I wish everyone in the world was
as friendly as you. I will take a look at your links and let you know
(much later!) about my progress.

Thanks again for being so friendly

In this case the package pifont is not installed. To install all

Actually, no, problem still there. The Math manual does render both \mathbf and
\boldsymbol correctly, both in live preview and in PDF. However, in my own
document (with all default document properties) \boldsymbol works but \mathbf
doesn't work in either live preview or PDF.

Windows setup/directory structure

2010-09-14 Thread Maria Gouskova

Dear LyX users,

I am not a Windows user myself but am trying to help some people
duplicate my setup on a Windows machine. On a *nix-based system, such
as my Mac OS, the custom packages and the bib and bst files all live
in the texmf directory, like this:

HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/...
HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/...
HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/tex/latex/...

I would like to be able to just give these people a zipped texmf
folder, so they can unzip it to the proper location. But what is the
standard location for this directory on Windows systems? Is there one?
I also don't have the specifics of their OSes (i.e., whether they use
XP, Vista, or 7), but I need answers for each version if they are
different.

Thank you!

Maria

Yes, it's done in the preamble, but the {...whatever you want...} part 
has to consist of LaTeX commands, e.g.:

\setkomafont{chapter}{\normalfont\sfseries\Large}
will make the chapter headings sans serif and Large. (The \normalfont 
just makes sure to reset everything else.) There's also:

\addtokomafont{chapter}{\sfseries}
which will set them to sans serif but otherwise leave them as without 
that command.


Any font command can be used here, including commands to select very 
specific fonts.

Most people on Windows use either miktex or texlive.

Anyway, I'd have people put your custom stuff into their LaTeX home

This page:

I should add that they all used MikTeX, and we tried putting texmf in
C:\ and also in the Program Files folder (I think basically as
C:\Program Files\texmf).

What confuses me is that in Mac OS, LyX finds all the stuff inside the
texmf folder automaticallly after reconfiguring. Does this happen in
Windows? If not, is there something that needs to be done inside LyX
to help it find the correct texmf path? I am sure we missed something
really obvious.

Whoops. I must've stopped reading that sentence when I got to the premise, To
make a complete formula bold, because I wasn't interested in making the whole
formula bold, just the one symbol.

I just read http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek

Seems like \mathbf is an anachronism. If \boldsymbol covers all uppercase Greek
letters and thus completely subsumes the use case for \mathbf, then perhaps
\mathbf shouldn't be so easy to access in LyX.

There is probably a glyph involved that is not encodable. The problematic

That is all completely configurable in the KOMA-script classes. And 
probably more easily, and reliably, than using titlesec. That's the 
great benefit to KOMA-script: Almost nothing is hardcoded; rather, 
everything is put into LaTeX commands that can be changed. For example, 
for changing the font of a chapter heading, one does:

\setkomafont{chapter}{...whatever you want...}
Headings can also be configured easily in these classes.

delete "Unser Zeichen, ..." from dinbrief

2010-09-14 Thread chs748

Hello,

As you will see from my question I am totally new to LyX. I tried
different searches on the web but couldn't find any help.

I like to use the dinbrief template for my private letters but don't
want to have the entries for "Unser Zeichen", "Sachberabeiter"
and "Telefon".

The template shows them as optional. However if I leave them blank I
still get the line with "Unsere Zeichen, unsere Nachricht vom" and
"Telefon, Bearbeiter". How can I delete this text? I tried
editing the dinbrief.layout file but without success.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks, Jürgen, 
yes I know the Mantra. 

In the meantime I found the reason, it has to do with the following preamble 
parts. Both the sidecap package (taken from the Embedded Objects Help) and 
the {german}{nomencl} (taken from the Lyx list) are candidates. I thought I 
had tried it with the preamble emptied, but forgot apparently to press apply.

I am also including the short Lyx file, in case somebody would like to try it

\usepackage[option]{sidecap}
\newcommand{\TabBesBeg}{%
 \let\MyTable\table
 \let\MyEndtable\endtable
 \renewenvironment{table}{\begin{SCtable}}{\end{SCtable}}}

Hi,

I have seen this happen in a two-column document, when mixing tables of 
one- and two-column width (spanning columns). Does this description 
match your document? In this case it is a Latex problem which needs a 
Latex solution, but I haven't looked for one. What I did was to put the 
tables far enough apart in the document so that they never end up in 
reversed order. A better solution would be using a float barrier.

The reason for the iconv problem is that you have fi-Ligatures in your 
preamble instead of two separate characters fi. This applies to all occurences 
of "figure" in your preamble. Just retype the "fi"s in the respective 
definitions.

I also get some other errors. The option "option" is unkown by the sidecap 
package, also there's a missing brace here:

> \newcommand{\TabBesEnd}{%
>  \let\table\MyTable
>  \let\endtable\MyEndtable}%<---Closing brace added.

After fixing all this, the document compiles here.

I'm using 1.6.7 on Windows.

Thanks for suggesting the EmbeddedObjects manual as a test. The version of that
manual that comes with 1.6.7 doesn't have the section 11.2 Bold Formulas. Is
there another testing doc?

When I try to render to PDF, I get two errors (below). Perhaps I don't have all

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.

You might try inserting a different font spec;

Start a new document from the template (and save it under a different name). 
Put the cursor at the end of the "Unsere Zeichen" line and start backspacing. 
You'll know when you've backspaced enough. :-)

With MiKTeX?  Make sure you have the pifont and caption packages installed in

Hi Etienne,

I feel your pain. The changes you describe would be so simple in WordPerfect 
and MS Word, and s difficult in LyX. And you'll find out that a lot of 
people ask "well why don't you just use the defaults, why do you want to 
micromanage your document's appearance?" You've identified the main deficiency 
in LyX -- everything else about it is wonderful. 

You mention you have no skill in writing layout files. Most folks don't. It's 
gruelling, difficult work, and I'd estimate that getting all your styles the 
way you want them will take you between 3 and 5 days of work -- a long time 
but not so long compared to the time it takes to write a book, and don't 
forget LyX saves you writing time in a hundred different ways.

I was in your exact position in 2001 (actually, I kind of still am), so I 
wrote several documents about making your own layouts and learning LaTeX for 
the purpose of layouts.

Here's the set of links for my LyX documentations and tutorials:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm

I'll give you one more word of wisdom. It gets better. As time goes on you 
learn the in's and out's of making environments and character styles, and you 
learn how to quickly make dummy environments to get on with your writing, and 
later on go back and make your styles exactly how you want them.

Thanks Jürgen. Now it works here too. I had copied the sidecap text from the 
lyxfile of the Embedded Objects Help and did not pay attention, that the 
f-Ligature is copied too.
However the sidecap package is not effective (does it work with Koma-book and 
twocolumn style -figure spanning the page? - thats what I am using)

Dear LyX users,

I am not a Windows user myself but am trying to help some people
duplicate my setup on a Windows machine. On a *nix-based system, such

HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/tex/latex/...

folder, so they can unzip it to the proper location. But what is the
standard location for this directory on Windows systems? Is there one?
I also don't have the specifics of their OSes (i.e., whether they use
XP, Vista, or 7), but I need answers for each version if they are
different.

Thank you!

will make the chapter headings sans serif and Large. (The \normalfont 
just makes sure to reset everything else.) There's also:

\addtokomafont{chapter}{\sfseries}
which will set them to sans serif but otherwise leave them as without 
that command.


Any font command can be used here, including commands to select very 
specific fonts.

Dear LyX users,

I am not a Windows user myself but am trying to help some people
duplicate my setup on a Windows machine. On a *nix-based system, such

in the texmf directory, like this:

HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/...
HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/...
HD/Users/Username/Library/texmf/tex/latex/...

I would like to be able to just give these people a zipped texmf
folder, so they can unzip it to the proper location. But what is the
standard location for this directory on Windows systems? Is there one?
I also don't have the specifics of their OSes (i.e., whether they use
XP, Vista, or 7), but I need answers for each version if they are
different.

   
This will depend not just on the OS but on what LaTeX distribution they 
are using. In fact, it probably doesn't depend upon the OS but only upon 
the distribution.


Most people on Windows use either miktex or texlive.

Anyway, I'd have people put your custom stuff into their LaTeX home 
directory, wherever that is. This is controlled by the TEXMFHOME variable.


This page:
http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html
has info about setting up a local directory (like ~/texmf/, under *nix) 
for miktex. I don't know if there is a default.


This page:
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-270003.2.3
has info about texlive, and says that TEXMFHOME defaults to 
%USERPROFILE%/texmf, whatever that means. I'm not a Windows person either.

I should add that they all used MikTeX, and we tried putting texmf in
C:\ and also in the Program Files folder (I think basically as
C:\Program Files\texmf).

What confuses me is that in Mac OS, LyX finds all the stuff inside the
texmf folder automaticallly after reconfiguring. Does this happen in
Windows? If not, is there something that needs to be done inside LyX
to help it find the correct texmf path? I am sure we missed something
really obvious.

The document is below in its entirety:


Do you want to play tricks with me? I said you should test bold math by having a look at the Math 
manual sec. 11.2 and the first sentence of it is:


"To make a complete formula bold, the command \mathbf from the previous subsection cannot be used, 
because it doesn't work for small Greek letters. Furthermore it prints Latin letters always upright"
