I have just obtained the beta version of Publicon, and at first glance it looks to be more-or-less the same as the Mathematica 3.0 front end. That is pretty sad because the mathematical typesetting capabilities of Mathematica 3.0 leave very much to be desired. My primary question is this: Are there any font metric guidelines available anywhere for Mathematica? The spacing of characters in mathematical expressions can be very poor, depending upon what font is used, and the tedious manual tweeking of spacing that seems to be required in general is totally unacceptable for a software package of Mathematica's prestige and price. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Selwyn Hollis Associate Professor of Mathematics Armstrong Atlantic State University Savannah, GA 31419 USA <http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
