Computer Modern (LaTeX) font in figures
Hello everybody,
The default font in LaTeX is Computer Modern. Here is a way of installing it system wide in MacOS. However, one thing I don't understand is the numbering system. E.g. Computer modern regular has 8 different types numbered 8--12 and then 17. When viewed in font book these fonts have the same size but elongate.
Which version of CMR is default latex font? I cannot seem to find the font that appears in my latex documents in the complete set of Computer Modern installed fonts!
Installing
Go to this site, mac-os-x-experience.blogspot.com Follow the instructions there, but basically double click the highlighted file in the unziped folder and this will open in FontBook.app. From there you just click install and you done.
This install placed may variants of the font:
CMR - Computer Modern regular
CMB - Computer Modern bold
etc..
Cheers,
Dan.
getting the CM fonts to show up for (native) applications
Thank you for the pointers on getting the CM fonts up on the Mac outside of LaTeX! Nice to have.
I've gone through the install procedure linked above, and the CM family of fonts show up in the Font Book -- although all as "plain" style under the "Computer Modern" family. In MS office the fonts show up with their CMxxx names, but in any of the Mac programs (particularly Keynote, where I want to use them!), I get one option, labeled "plain" and can't get the others. I haven't been able to change the style name anywhere in Font Book so that they show up as distinct, selectable fonts. Any one else here run into that or found a way around it?
I don't know that my question is germane here, but I don't know where else to try (and I've exhausted the other avenues).
Thank you for any help!
As an alternative have you
As an alternative have you tried using LaTeXiT? You can then drag and drop the LaTeX equations etc into Keynote.
