I am trying to use bibtex with resume.cls from

http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/resume

It is essentially a customized article class:
\PassOptionsToClass{11pt,12pt}{article}
\LoadClassWithOptions{article}

I have two problems.

Thanks! Guys.

Yes, exported PDF is fine. Messing with fonts--three options Romans, Sans Serif, and Typewriter--changes fonts of the text, but do not help.

I have some problem with font display in math mode. Hopefully it's summed up in this screen capture (how do you resize the img using the BBCode?):

When I include a eps/latex combo generated by, say, gnuplot or xfig using \input{*} command, how do I set the width analogous to \includegraphic[width=0.8\textwidth]{*}?

I know one way is to edit the \includegraphic line in the generated latex file, but if the same eps/latex combo is to be used in ...

I use two computers. A Gentoo Linux one with texlive-2008 and an Ubuntu one with texlive-2007.

In the Ubuntu computer only, latex with package mathbbol or bbold fails if the font size is set at 11:
! Emergency stop.

I am looking for a class that help me generates randomized multiple choice quizzes. The only one I found to claim such capability is examdesign. I am following the manual to create the following minimal tex (mostly copy-and-pasted from manual.pdf):
\documentclass{examdesign}
\begin{document}

Yes, but this would defeat the purpose of reusing code. Suppose I want some new environment called "cvarbox", I cannot just stick the \begin{center} and \begin{minipage} into the \newenvironment<>, can I?

I am not familiar with TeX, so I am not sure how to do this. Thanks.

Hi Pebo,

you could define your own block environment with an optional parameter for its width. Have a look at this example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\title{Variable block demo}
\author{Stefan Kottwitz}

\newenvironment<>{varblock}[2][\textwidth ...
