Re: ec fonts
Selon Matej Cepl [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] scripsit: I'm very happy with lyx, but I've been advised to install ec fonts to get even better results. Two questions : - is installing ec fonts worth the bother ? Are you sure, you haven't already installed them? They are usually part of the very basic installation of TeTeX. What kpsewhich ecrm.mf gives you? You are right, kpsewhich ecrm.mf returns /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm.mf when the help file Latex Configuration shows 2.1 EC fonts Found: no which brings more questions - how to check if ec fonts are active in Lyx by default ? - in case they're not, how to make them active by default ? - where to find some detailed howto that could help a somewhat newbie regarding Latex admin ? http://faq.tug.org ... Thanks for the pointer, I'll certainly read those docs. And if you want full comprehensive guide, then go to the local library or buy books referenced in TeX FAQ referenced above (I prefer [Kopka, Daly], which has the 3rd edition published last year). I already have a very comprehensive book in french Latex by Bernerd Desgraupes. Excellent, but sparse on details about fonts... Anyway, thanks for the very helpful answer, Matej. -- ~adj~

ec fonts
I use lyx-1.3.5 on Gentoo linux to write support to courses : - in french - some maths - lots of algorithms - lots of code (mostly C) I'm very happy with lyx, but I've been advised to install ec fonts to get even better results. Two questions : - is installing ec fonts worth the bother ? - where to find some detailed howto that could help a somewhat newbie regarding Latex admin ? Help and answers welcome. -- ~adj~
