[sage-support] Re: No sans-serif font in notebook latex entries

[Brian Hawkins]

I did not know about the %latex command, thanks for the tip.

Looking at the symbol table, I found one that serves my particular
purpose well: \top.  $M^\top$ renders as I'd like for a transpose and
avoids using an unsupported font in jsMath.

[sage-support] No sans-serif font in notebook latex entries

[Brian Hawkins]

Hi,

First I'd like to say that I'm new to sage, I like it very much so
far, and I am excited by its potential.  The attention to
documentation is especially nice.

I currently have an issue with sans serif fonts in latex math entered
in the notebook interface.  Specifically I'm trying to get a nice-
looking transpose operator with something like $M^\mathsf{T}$ or
similarly $M^{\sf T}$.  In the notebook display I get the error,
"Unknown control sequence '\sf'."  The \bf (bold) and \rm (Roman)
macros work fine, though.  Is there any way to get \sf working?

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.5.6 with sage 3.4.1.  I followed the instructions
in the FAQ to install TeX .ttf fonts with no joy.

Thanks,
Brian
