![]() The following metadata fields are generated automatically by the LATEX engine. It seems I found the answer, from, pasted below. where this Custom profile is located, when installed under MacOS. Alas, it appears I have to give up TeXniscope. I like TeXniscope much better than Skim because it's much simpler, has better keyboard shorcuts for paging, and Skim makes you manually refresh the pdf every time there's a latex error (otherwise Skim auto-refreshes).Īfter recently upgrading to Leopard, something very strange and terrible began happening with pdf files created by latex (MacTeX 2007 distribution). The punchline is that fonts were not being displayed correctly by any application that used Apple's native pdf engine (e.g. preview.app, skim.app, Texniscope.app, LaTeXit.app, but not adobe reader 8). More mysterious was the fact that the same document could render differently on multiple openings. Much googling ensued, until I found a thread on the mac tex newsgroup which suggested that the problem lay in corrupted font caches. From the terminal, issue the following commands: sudo rm -rf `lsof | grep /x | grep Finder | cut -c 66-139` Another search brought about this hint on how to delete all font caches in Leopard. (replace lsof with /usr/sbin/lsof if /usr/sbin is not in your path) sudo rm -rf /private/var/folders/*/*/-Caches-/Īnd then reboot. NB: part of this problem appears to be the result of TeXniscope.app screwing up the font cache. For example, if you delete the font cache, reboot, and open something in preview it will look fine, but as soon as you open something in TeXniscope again, back to the drawing board. If you are experiencing this problem and using TeXniscope as your pdf previewer, (as in aquamacs), you should switch to Skim as your pdf previewer. It's pretty nice, and the Skim wiki has instructions for how to integrate it with Aquamacs. TeXniscope isn't under active development anyway.LaTeX version of eLML website (click for downlaod!) Before reading this chapter have a look at the LaTeX (PDF) version of the eLML website. For more information about LaTeX: here's the link to the official LaTeX website. ![]() Is a typesetting document markup language and provides a set of macros essentially based on TeX which was founded 1977 by Donald Knuth. ![]() The idea of TeX (and LaTeX) was to focus the author's work onto the content, without the necessity to deal with the visual representation of his writing. Originally thought as an environment for scientists to typeset complicated formulas on a non-layouting system, it grew to an platform independent and perfectly scaling instrument for publishing journals and books. LaTeX is able to handle list of figures and tables dynamically, gives support for footnotes and bibliographic citations and generates table of contents and indexes automatically. There are a lot of packages (macros) available to extend the basic functionality of LaTeX, all of them searchable in an internet archive called CTAN. LaTeX can be typesetted using any vanilla text editor. tex document the gets processed by the LaTeX/TeX system to an intermediary output file format called DVI ("DeVice Independent" file format). ![]() From there it the author produce files in PostScript or PDF format. TeX/LaTeX systems exists for many platforms including MS Windows, Linux, Mac OS. ![]()
