How to learn which package is used?

Post by bkarpuz »

Hi all,

i am new to this great forum.

Is it possible to learn from a pdf file which packages are used while being complied?
I really like the style of the journals of Hindawi, equations look very nice.
Please see (2.2) and (2.3) of the paper http://downloads.hindawi.com/GetPDF.asp ... 2007/60907

If you know the names of these packages of text fonts and mathematical styles please tell :$
Thanks.

These are features of Standard LaTeX. There are packages that enhance math typesetting like amsmath. Useful hints about typesetting math expressions are given with the "Math mode" document. The used font is MinionPro and can be checked by looking at the properties of the document.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi,

the small tool pdffonts could also help if the used reader cannot display the fonts used.

uhm :s.
I need further help, when I add the code

Code: Select all

\usepackage{MinionPro}
into my tex file, It says that

Code: Select all

!LaTex Error: File 'MinionPro.sty' is not found.
I downloaded the files located in http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/minionpro but I could not make it work.

thanks.

(1) Do you actually have the minion pro fonts? (I don't remember if they are freely available, the latex support package is, but the font might not be)

(2) use the package manager to download and install stuff

Hi,

For getting Minionpro fonts installed you can refer the post

Minion Pro

numbers (in math mode) of Miniopro fonts doesn't look very nice to me, if you want you can use [onlytext] option and combine it with other font for maths (eg. mathpazo).

Regards,
Arif
