Need help on line alignment of multi-line headers

I'm new to LaTeX, so this might not be the optimal method, but one way is simple to pad the center column as below. The tilde(~} is a hard space that's necessary for the linebreaks to function. Notice I also added a linebreak at end of left header:

\lhead{l-line1 \\ l-line2 \\ l-line3 \\ l-line4 ...

Re: Selective f-ligature problem

I have the same problem as original poster who posted over a year ago. I'm using MikTex 2.8, which has a recent version of XeTeX, 0.9995.

With most OpenType fonts XeTeX substitutes 'fi' and 'fl' just fine. But with one I can vary the fontspec 'Ligature=' options all I want and the ligatures aren't ...

Re: Problem with XeTex and Minion Pro Optical

frabjous --

Oh what a day! Callooh! Callay! You hit it on the head with the font name confusion!

At first I just looked in the Windows font directory and didn't see any other Minions. But I finally did file search over entire machine and found some Minions in the Adobe Reader font directory ...

Problem with XeTex and Minion Pro Optical

I've been using the Garamond Premier Pro opentype font with MikTex/XeTeX and it seems to be working fine. All the opentype extensions work properly using fontspec: ligatures, smallcaps, old style nums, etc.

I just got Minion Pro Optical font and I can't get it to work right. I had assumed I would ...

Re: Creating a letterhead

Does the letterhead include graphic elements or is it all text.

At least if it's all text you could look at the fancyhdr class:

I think fancyhdr would work fine even if you have graphic element(s), but in that case you'd need to ...

Re: on-the-fly package installation doesn't work

Could the problem be the same one as this one that was also posted today?:
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9082

In that thread I posted that I've had a similar problem, which says "Windows API Error 87" on popup dialog, and that the workaround is to reboot the computer. So ...

Re: What is wrong with my MikTex 2.8?

I'm new to MikTex and I was having problems with documents where MikTex was supposed to be automatically installing packages as needed. Mine would also fail to compile when it was running across one of these packages. I don't have web link now, but I think my error was "Windows API Error 87" and the ...

Re: Interested in MinionPro installation guide (for WinXP)?

I use another Adobe opentype font with MikTex, Garamond Premier Pro. I just use xetex in the MikTex distribution, which can use otf files directly and doesn't need any "install" process. Or, rather, the "install" process consists merely of copying the otf font files to the Windows Font folder.

So I ...

How to get printed copy of Memoir Class User Manual?

I just discovered the Memoir Class and it looks pretty amazing.

I could always print the 500 page manual myself, but I'm wondering whether there's some better way to get it printed and bound: (1) get pdf printed at Kinko's, (2) is it on Lulu or some similar site? (3) some other way?

Thanks for any ...

Automatic ordinals with fontspec and opentype?

I'm using xetex and fontspec with Adobe's opentype Garamond Premier Pro font.

I think there must be some way to have it automatically superscript the endings in ordinals like '1st', '2nd', '3rd', etc., but I can't figure it out.

I turned on feature, 'VerticalPosition=Ordinal' in the font ...
