Assuming that the user won't change the preamble befor processing the Userguide, no option could confuse him. And also scrbook versions from 2001 should do the job. I often read that the koma classes are recommended by TUG and Dante. And
There are other people who don't ... remember that memoir also does a good job and my from point of view a better one. The option interface of koma can drive you crazy ...
I like the beautiful automatic print space calculation. (I also read that this assures, that a document is conform to ISO-norms.)
I normally do, but as lmoderm is still under development,
I would discourage from using it as standard (e.g. \textcircled don't work with lmodern).
???
\documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \begin{document}
\textcircled{3}
\end{document}
But now look in the output. You can also take a look at http://pc52.ifw.ing.tu-bs.de/~harders/latex/textcircled.pdf
I know, but you said that it _doesn't_ work. Textcircled depends extremly to the used font and this has nothing to with lm.
every package is under construction ... just like LyX :-)
But the lm-package says:
The current LM package contains the most recent although still pre-release version (i.e., 0.86, of 04.08.2003) of the Latin Modern family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format.
remeber that _all_ other solutions for LaTeX are less good! Especially cm-super ...
lmodern is the best solution anyway.
Indeed it is, but it's not installed by default in most of the LaTeX2e distributions, so many users will have promlems.
\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}{% \usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet} .... }
