The typeset font-ini makes it clearer though, thank you. However I still have some difficulties. To get something in bold math font, I do something like $ ... {\bi\mf x} ... $ Is this correct? For x that works fine. However, $ ... {\bi\mf ff} ... $ gives the wrong thing. In cmr, the spacing between the fs is simply too small. In lbr I get something very strange indeed (a ligature that isn't in the font?). Also I'm guessing $ ... {\bi\mf\sigma} ... $ should give me a bold italic sigma in lbr. It's just a regular (unbold) sigma though. This works correctly in pdflatex so the character is definately there and pdftex can find the font ok. Actually these bold greek letters are one of the major reasons I bought the Lucida font set. I keep having to typeset variance vectors :) - Matthew -- Dr. Matthew Baker matthew.baker@gmd.de GMD - FIT.MMK http://fit.gmd.de/hci/pages/matthew.baker.html
