t_fischerIn KBibTeX's bug list at Gna!, there are currently 39 open bug reports. Most of them are not really ‘bugs’, but rather feature requests. The oldest open bug report is about a request for Zotero support. Trying to fix and close old bug reports, during the last few weeks, I was working on adding basic (read-only) support for Zotero to KBibTeX.
( Read more... )t_fischerMany years ago (2007), in one of my first attempts to start a blog, I wrote about settings tables in LaTeX using the booktabs and multirow packages. Apparently, this page is still online and indexed by some search engines, as I got just recently an email with a question about it. As this old posting seem to be still of relevance, I am going to post an updated English translation here.

t_fischerThis posting will show a quick and (comparably) easy way to get support for the font CartoGothic, a Frutiger-lookalike, in pdfLaTeX, xeTeX, and LuaTeX.
( Read more... ) t_fischerRecently I started to try out XeTeX. It has two main advantages over the plain, old LaTeX: First, you don't need any \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} as XeTeX assumes UTF-8 as default encoding. As UTF-8 is the default encoding for basically ever Linux distribution, it makes things much simpler. Second, it can make use of TrueType, Type 1, and OpenType fonts without configuring virtual fonts or alike. With LaTeX, you need black magic to include new fonts which is why most people stick with Computer Modern.
( Read more... )t_fischerI am the developer of KBibTeX, a BibTeX editor for KDE. Yesterday I spent some time porting KBibTeX to Windows and eventually succeeded. I would like to invite you to try it out yourself. There are no easy packages for installation (yet), so those of you who are bold and brave have to compile it from source.
t_fischerYou may know those PDF files (e.g. scientific publications) which are set in North American paper formats such as Letter or Legal, having a wide margin, and, when scaled to fit on A4 paper, the text has the size of your palm centered on the page.
( Read more... ) t_fischerHello, some of you might be interested in two of my recent postings about LaTeX Beamer.
The first posting is about how to give proper credit to images included in slides, and an alternative to allowframebreaks. The second post shows you how to make links between slides and how to automatically generate extra slides to show small images (or photos) full-screen with a single mouse click.
Constructive feedback is always appreciated ;-)
