Selecting a different font for numbers in main font

The best workaround I have found so far is to use "character tokens" as described in a tex.stackexchange thread:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/10248/font-selection-in-xetex-for-specific-characters

Thus the font definition part of my preamble now looks like this:


\setmainfont[Mapping ...

Slow Compilation and Freeze

For what it is worth, some people have found a way to speed up TeXmaker (for me this does not yield massive gains but it might work for you):


Go to options -> Configure TeXmaker,
Select the "Editor" pane,
UN-check the box marked "Check for external changes".

The only benefit, I have found ...

Re: Slow Compilation and Freeze

I also experience speed issues with Texmaker on a regular basis. Others have experinced this as well but reporting of it seems to be very intermittent. A couple of hours work on a multi-file document (thesis) is all it takes for texmaker to become very sluggish in responding to simple things like ...

Selecting a different font for numbers in main font

I see,

Yes the best solution I have so far is to share the digits from the mainfont (Arno) with the maths latin and greek of Mastic with the following commands:

\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Arno Pro}
\setmathsfont(Digits)[Numbers={Lining,Proportional}]{Arno Pro}
\setmathsfont(Latin)[Scale ...

Selecting a different font for numbers in main font

Um, yes I have, several times. Have you?

If you did you'd probably already know that mathspec does not provide the command for setting the main text font, it is fontspec which does this.

Mathspec provides commands to allow the setting of digits, latin and greek in maths fonts. I currently have the ...

Selecting a different font for numbers in main font

I'm writing a thesis using XeLaTeX, and have so far specified my fonts using the mathspec package.

I like the look of Adobe's Arno Pro and am using that as the main font. For maths I've been using Mastic (which is like STIX but with a couple of usefull modifications). Some might think it's a weird ...

Re: multirow | Spanning three Rows with two Rows

Thanks for that, I'd read the multirow documentation but I hadn't noticed that one.

Cheers

multirow | Spanning three Rows with two Rows

Hi,

let's say I have a table with three rows. In some columns I have one entry for each row. This is the easiest data to enter and set correctly.

In another column I have one entry to span all three rows. This requires the multirow package, but is otherwise easy.

However in yet another column I ...

Large Output PDF Size with included Images

I'm typing up my thesis using xelatex and am having trouble understanding how my output files can be as large as they are.

As an example I am currently working on one chapter which comes to 61 pages. the images to be included are exclusively PDF or PNG format and the total file size of all images ...

Auto-completion for multiple Citations

I'm using Texmaker 3.2.2 and have this issue. The use of the command \cite{...} brings up a auto-complete list of available citation keys. This is a good thing, as long as you only want to enter one citation key.

If you want multiple keys (for example \cite{paper1,paper2,...} ) you cannot do it ...
