LATEX: Font Style

Crash Course in Latex
http://www.haptonstahl.org/latex/basics_formatting.php

• avant
• bookman
• chancery -- this is a nice flowing font
• charter
• courier
• helvet (helvetica) -- this only changes the monospace font, and I don't know when that is used
• lucida
• newcent (new century)
• palatino - great everyday font, very readable
• pslatex
• punk -- silly font
• times (time new roman)
• utopia

All of these worked for me just by putting a line like this in the header

\usepackage{avant}

The font is automatically set for the whole document.

LATEX: Miktex and cwtex installations

It used to be trivial, but this time it takes me more than five hours.
Tips are as the following:

1. Edit c:\autoexec.bat. Change all d:\ to be c:\ if disk D is not a writable hard drive.
2. Make sure the Miktex folder is not 'read-only.'
3. Change cwps.bat file to set gsview in a correct path. (if the path of gsview in bat files is not set correctly.)
   

Then, have fun! (0rz...)
