I found org-article when trying to find out how to control fonts, etc. Basically, I have my own LaTeX template I use when hand-constructing documents, and I was hoping to be able to use those same settings when org creates a LaTeX document for me. I thought org-article would give me that degree of control, but it probably hasn't been updated since some prior version of org (based on the variable names), and so is probably broken. > > So you have a choice to make: either fix org-article and continue using > it or throw it away and find some other way to do what you want. > > For example, all you have to do to get Times is > > #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{times} > > Getting finer control should also be possible using basic latex > techniques.

Since most of these settings I'll want to use in *all* my documents, putting all the parameters in each org file would be pretty tedious. I'll keep looking for a more elegant solution. I'll be happy to post here when I find something (that works!) Thank you! -pd -- ---- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon www.techcurmudgeon.com
