I'm making an opentype math font (FiraMath) for LaTeX and MS Word with FontForge. When creating the \oint glyph, I use reference as the following iamge:
When using the generated otf fonts in LaTeX (actually is XeLaTeX), everything goes right (PDF reader is SumatraPDF):
But when using MS Word 2016, the intersection behavior is strange:
Could anyone explain what happened and show how to solve the problem?

As #be5invis points out in https://github.com/Stone-Zeng/FiraMath/issues/6,
Only TTF and CFF2 supports non-zero filling, which allows overlapping contours.
So my solution is simply merge the overlapping contours.

So recently I decided to not use the standard markers that Matlab provides and use my own via: a set of fonts including Webdings or WingDings. I make a standard scatter plot, and plot the text (in wingdings), using the text command, over the locations of the markers.
When I save these plots as png files, they print perfectly. They also appear perfectly on my screen after plotting.
However when I save these plots as eps files, the webdings are turning into their original letters 'l' or 'w'. It also looks like it's plotting them in a Courier font, but my default is Helvetica.
I've read through this previous post, but my question differs in that he is looking to use Latex as the interpreter and to include fonts, whereas I don't want to use Latex as the interpreter. However, it seems like my default interpreter (not sure what that is), isn't doing the job when converting to EPS.
Example:
imageR='w'
text(xf2,yf2,imageR,'fontName',font,'FontSize',fontR,'HorizontalAl','left','color','w')
I figured it out....took me way too long.
Ghostscript / Postscript only export with a few fonts when you are exporting eps files.
This link was incredibly helpful.
I just switched from wingdings/webdings to ZapfDinbats...Practically the same thing...
use Microsoft Word to edit an equation with underbrace. The line is as follows:
\underbrace(ab+cdf-edf=9dc/ereat+asdfdgg-asfeefe-eafdgahty+atataeaattrat)
The problem is the symbol for underbrace is very flat, looking like a line with the downward pointing part too small to see. Is there a way to make it larger (e.g., is there a way to stretch the underbrace VERTICALLY)? The size of underbrace is set automatically in Latex and looks fine. But in Microsoft Word, the default just does not look especially when you have a long equation. I am not sure if there is a setting allowing you to change it. Many thanks! Gene
According to the MATLAB manual, when you save a figure using print or by choosing file|save, if you choose the painters renderer and save to PDF or EPS vector formats, all fonts get substituted. Is there a way to get around this limitation?
Whenever I output a figure, whether I use print or export_fig, the fonts get substituted, and so they no longer match the fonts in the document that I plan on putting the figure into. I would prefer to keep them in a vector format, because I use LaTeX and so I want to be able to use the same figures in my documents as in my beamer presentations and have them scale nicely without bloating the file size.
If I'm reading that link correctly, not all fonts get substituted. From 'Choosing a Printer Driver':
The table below lists the fonts supported by the MATLAB PostScript and Ghostscript drivers when generated with the Painters renderer (fully vectorized output). This same set of fonts is supported on both Windows and UNIX:
AvantGarde
Helvetica-Narrow
Times-Roman
Bookman
NewCenturySchlbk
ZapfChancery
Courier
Palatino
ZapfDingbats
Helvetica
Symbol
So, if you use one of the above fonts, the output vector-format figure should maintain the correct font. See for example:
list_fonts = listfonts
figure('renderer','painters'),
plot(peaks),
xlabel('this font is Helvetica','fontname','Helvetica','fontsize',24)
set(gcf,'paperpositionmode','auto')
print(gcf,'-depsc2','test1.eps')
Which produces:
So, choose one of the fonts from the list above, and the font will be output correctly. Otherwise, change the font in your presentation to match one of the above fonts.
I also encountered this problem for many times, and I have an simple but effective way that never fails me (on Windows, need GSview).
1) save fig as PDF
2) save PDF as ps
3) open ps with GSview, then click "File->PS to EPS", specify a file name and done.
Hope this helps.
A command of the form xlabel('$<stuff>$','interpreter','latex'); will produce an axis label that is typeset by TeX using a font that is presumably ComputerModern. However, the axis tick labels (e.g., 0, 1, 2, ...) appear in the default font (Helvetica?). I would like to synchronize all the fonts in the figure (preferably to ComputerModern).
Toward that end, I presume that a command of the form set(0,'DefaultAxesFontName', '<fontname>') may be useful. However, I need to know the exact name or path of the font used by the MATLAB TeX interpreter. How can I retrieve a string value for the font name or a path pointing to the font file for the default figure font and the default TeX-interpreted font?
You could also plot the axis ticks with latex, look here:
http://alex.bikfalvi.com/research/latex_in_matlab_ticks/
Actually, your command was right to mget the default font (when NOT using latex):
get(0,'defaultaxesfontname')
But I didn't find any to get the default latex font. Perhaps it would be possible by using the internal java routines (to get some ideas, look at http://undocumentedmatlab.com/)
You can download the computer modern font, and install it on your local machine. For Mac, you'll need to download the OTF format (i'm not sure on windows machines).
Then, researt matlab, and you can use
set(0,'DefaultAexsFontName', 'CMU Serif')
to make things look like latex font.
I've got an exported version of a MATLAB diagram, similar to the one below. The problem is, that there are no axis captions. It's not possible to export the file again from MATLAB. I need to edit the PDF programmatically and edit about 100 diagrams, all with the same axis positions.
Is there a clean and fast way to paste the Strings X and Y at the corresponding positions in the pdf based on a batch process?
Create a PDF file with the captions. Add that as a background with to the PDF files with pdftk.
if know how to use LaTeX, the pstool package can bring you far on this on, including replacing labels (or actually any text on an eps figure) with TeX symbolic expressions. Neat if you're already working in LaTeX.
