Tuukka I think also that it might not typeset the ps fonts as Tuukka carefully as TeX typesets cm fonts, but you'd better ask Tuukka someone else. The problem is that designing a math font is a very difficult task. You have to make sure, for example, that any character used as a subscript of another one looks good and does not overlap, and a lot of other things... Currently, when using times as main font, you have the following choices for math fonts: - mathtimes fonts: the best choice , but you have to pay for them - mathptm, mathptmx packages: use a clunky virtual math font based on times. It is not very nice and moreover still uses normal computer modern for some glyphs (thus has the problems you describe) - normal computer modern: looks too thin for times - euler fonts: a bit bolder, but not everybody likes them. - the recently released txfonts: probably a good choice, but unfortunately they fail to print on some printers (bug in the ps fonts). If however your problem is only to get small and readable pdf files, a good solution is to use the Postscript Type1 version of the computer modern fonts. Usually you can do that by doing dvips -Pps myfile.dvi -o myfile.ps ps2pdf myfile.ps [of course there are some magic flags to add here and there to make this work...] This only works if you are using the older OT1 encoding. For people using the newer T1 encoding, you should either - buy postscript version of the T1 ec fonts - use the ae.sty package (almost ec), which will emulate the T1 ec fonts with postscript OT1 cm fonts. Then if you want french quotes, you will need the aeguill.sty package too. So, as you can see, things are not _very_ easy. JMarc

I´m sorry, but I´m not so familiar with ghostscript or gv. The version of ghostscript I use is 6.0 - and after a little bit of copying the right files to their right place (I think this depends on the distribution - mine is SuSE) is worked perfectly. > > > > Use "Layout/Document/Fonts" and select eg. pslatex from there.

I think the problem is to use bitmap fonts at all. "pslatex" uses PostScript fonts, so no problems occur. Is there any good reason to use bitmap fonts??? Why in the world should Acroread support bitmap fonts? regards, Marcus Beyer http://www.Stormlight.de
