But it's still not a real preview. For instance, if I chose "Palatino", mathpazo uses either URW Palladio (which is free), or some commercial font like Linotype Palatino, if that is installed. The two fonts look very similar, because Palladio is a Palatino clone, but they are not identical. What I mean is: if we want a real preview, we would have to pass "The little brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" through preview-latex and display the resulting image. Jürgen
