Re: Matrix Bracket Issue

Hmm, when I brought the PDF into InDesign and printed it, I can see trace evidence of it. I suppose it is slight enough to not worry about. Considering MathType does this as well, I am not gonna push the issue.

Re: Self Publishing - Choosing a Font

I need to take a step back since I am now realizing what is wrong with my thinking.

- Can the body text be different than the text in the equations or will that look bad? Or can you stay in the same family? For example, could I have Minion body with Times New Roman as the equation text?

- There is ...

Matrix Bracket Issue

What is going on with the small gaps in the brackets? I have noticed this before from MathType. It seems like the bracket is pieced together. Though it is hard to see when printing, you can tell it is there and the line is just slightly off.

MathType to LaTeX Issue

Well, it looks like this works, as provided by the designer. Not sure what these lines are for, but it needed the 2nd and/or 3rd line.

MathType to LaTeX Issue

Mathtype converted a matrix to latex and this is what it gives me. When I used textworks, it gives me the following error. Any idea?

Re: Self Publishing - Choosing a Font

I am starting to figure things out and can better pose the question. I don't think that I was doing a good job before.

I want to use a windows font for both the body text and equations. 95% of the equations will go straight from MathType to InDesign. HOWEVER, there are a handful of equations that ...

Re: Self Publishing - Choosing a Font

Great info!

To clarify, I was wanting to use Minion Pro for the body text http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minion_%28typeface%29

and Times New Roman for the equations. I have never used Latex, but we want the option to export equations from MathType to Latex, then covert them into to InDesign via this ...

Self Publishing - Choosing a Font

I am self publishing and engineering text/reference book and have hired a designer to create the layout and put everything together.

However, we are having difficultly agreeing on a font for equations. In the manuscript, I use MathType, which can be output to Latex if needed. He has a good idea to ...
