More than 12pt ?

Hi ! This is more or less a "latex" question but I suppose I can find an answer here. I prepare some exams or exercices for 11 to 16y old students using Lyx and the "article" class. However, 12pt is still too small for them. The solution I use is to select the whole document text and to

Unable to print roman numbered pages

Hi! The first part of my text is "Roman" numbered, the second "arabic". All looks fine on the screen, but the problem is: How can I tell my printer to print the roman pages? If I put e.g. "VII" in the printing menu I get an error message like "unable to print ("Es konnte nicht gedruckt

Hi Nick, As I remember, when you convert to .eps you get a chance to declare a preview, which is a sort of thumbnail of the image in a different format. Perhaps you could use that to accomplish what you need. Try saving a .eps in Gimp, and notice the preview checkbox and preview size field.
