Thank you for your answers, but what I am looking for is a way to package latin modern or computer modern into a single font that can be installed with a single click. Is this possible?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 3:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:macosx-tex-request@email.esm.psu.edu">macosx-tex-request@email.esm.psu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello Herb and Ross,<br>
<br>
Thank you both for explaining how to use \usepackage{xspace} properly.<br>
<br>
As to Ross's further comments:<br>

Not in the habit of using the above, so I checked them out. \C \O \P and \S are useful (to me), and even if they were not, I would not redefine them (\renewcommand) for personal use. As to the others, \B \T and \U generate ``Undefined control sequence'' error messages. \H seems to do `strange' things!!!<br>
<br>
<br>

I believe it!<br>

<br>
Not so sure about the above! My practice has been:<br>
<br>
Whenever I want to introduce a personal command via \newcommand, I enter the details in the preface and then do a typeset. If there are any complaints, such as the "already defined'' one, then I back off and revise the my command's name. So far that has not caused problems, or, at least, I'm not aware of any problems --- yet! :-)<br>
<br>
As to collaborating with other authors, I'm not in that ball park yet, but I've often thought about how user-defined devices would be handled. Methinks a great deal of discussion would be required. For a team effort, a good approach might be to eliminate personal quirks, but I suspect that could be contentious.<br>
<br>
However, Ross's use of the adjective 'foreign' puzzles me. How come you (Ross) did not write: "... with any author.''? As to bibliographies, I'm not into the BibTeX league yet, and have found \begin{thebibliography} and \bibitem serve me well --- so far.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
Not very keen on that solution, but I will keep it in mind. ;-) Pleased to know that \C and \O can be used.<br>
<br>
<br>
> However, you still need to be careful of \AA and \SS and maybe some others.<br>
<br>
I can see the usefulness of \AA but I've often wondered why \LaTeX bothers with \SS.<br>

Advice from Herb and Ross always helps. Thanks! :-)<br>

This is fitting, as Donald Knuth is one of our Math Department's most illustrious alumni. The rub is I need a good single file distribution of the typeface that works on both Mac and Windows. Some outfits seem to sell this, but I would be shocked if it is unavailable otherwise. I think I am just looking in all the wrong places. I searched around CTAN, but only found the founts in separate files.<br>

My suggestion would be to use a nice OpenType version of Latin Modern --- you need for the files to be something which can be installed on all operating systems and used w/ a wide variety of programs:<br>

All of the OTF fonts are here:<br>

<br>
I'd suggest developing a subset archive of only the fonts needed by your templates for your own distribution. In my experience, people complain about the ``clutter'' of the different optical sizes and many variants.<br>
