I have prepared my thesis and all is well. I just wnated some advice
or guidance about fonts in Latex - I know this is a Lyx list but many
latex gurus lurk here!
Basically I want to use a nice modern looking font - the sort that
might be found in a scientific publication. I use a large amount of
maths although I assume that can be set in a different font if needs
be.
At present it is set using Computer Modern as the default Roman and
although it looks ok I would prefer something else. Times is an option
but then it looks a bit WORDesque.
Any ideas and instructions for implementation. I am printing to a .ps
printer so it shouldn't matter if the fonts aren't found on it by
default.
add \usepackage{mathptmx} to your preamble if you want Times.
other options include:
\usepackage{mathpazo} (Palatino / Palladio)
