This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -------- ------4200FFD12F19FC6621DD5D1B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Everybody, I am using "\usepackage{times}" within a document in order to use outline fonts. But, the fonts used in math mode are not affected by this and are still included as bitmap fonts. So, here is my question: What is the "cheapest" way to use outline fonts in math mode? I tried the following, which works in principle: \SetSymbolFont{operators}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{n} \SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{n} \SetSymbolFont{letters}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{it} \SetSymbolFont{letters}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{it} But unfortunately, I don't know which font to specify for the symbols: \SetSymbolFont{symbols}{...}{...}{...}{...}{...} how could the above line look like? Another problem is that the character mapping is somewhat different, i.e. I get "," (in my document) mapped to ";" (in the print-out). So, what is the correct way to typeset math in lets say times italic? Can anybody help me, please? Thanks in advance!

The medline `entry' comes with a lot of useful fields, such as full abstract and notes, keywords etc, good to keep in your own database for future search. The thing is that, although useful, I don't want the `Note' category to appear in the bbl file, for example because the full author's address is there and I don't need it in my list of references.. Do I set this manually in the bib file (I have tried putting an asterisk `note*' in it but without success) or is it a bibliography style issue?

This is fine, but causes a problem under some circumstan= ces: The title of a chapter of my document contains the german word "Ma=DFe" (which means something like "measurement"). Since the german sharp s "=DF= " is not available in uppercase, LaTeX maps it to "ss". This would be O.K. in principle,but the result is the word "Masse" which has a completely different meaning (it means "mass"). This is not acceptable! I solution I could live with would be to print the sharp s "=DF" as it is= , even it would be a single lowercase letter in between uppercase letters. How can I achieve this? (It is not sufficient to type \textrm{\3}!) Does anybody has an idea ? Thanks in advance!

If I suppress the cmsy* and line10 from the cmfonts.map (using the pk files then) all is good. Any idea ?
