There have been quite a few changes to fonts in MPL since 8.x. Perhaps one of the biggest is mathtext. Real unicode fonts with mathematics. Since you do what I do, sort of, I am guessing that you might be happy with the same configuration I use. I looks great, and can be edited in Illustrator (et al.).
I really like Arev Sans, but others like the new STIX fonts. This setup is for Arev Sans. The important stuff is what begins with mathtext. If you want serif fonts, this should be enough to get you started on customizing. Just make sure whatever fontset you pick has all of the math symbols built in, or change fallback_to_cm to True. -Rob font.family : sans-serif font.style : normal font.variant : normal font.weight : medium font.stretch : normal font.size : 12.0 font.serif : STIX, Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif font.sans-serif : Arev Sans font.cursive : Zapfino, Apple Chancery, Textile, Sand, cursive font.fantasy : Chicago, Comic Sans MS, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy font.monospace : Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace text.color : black text.usetex : False text.dvipnghack : True mathtext.fallback_to_cm : False mathtext.fontset : custom mathtext.cal : Arev Sans:oblique mathtext.it : Arev Sans:oblique mathtext.rm : Arev Sans mathtext.bf : Arev Sans:bold mathtext.sf : Arev Sans pdf.fonttype : 42 On Jan 16, 2008, at 10:13 PM, Jordan Dawe wrote: > Setting ps.useafm = True while ps.fonttype = 42 allows illustrator to > open the eps files again and gives me back text editing capability, > but > I don't have any control over the typeface anymore, it just > defaults to > Helvetica. > > Jordan > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
