You can do it by holding down the shift key and then hitting the arrow-left key, but this is wearing. finding a simpler way to select (highlight) the last typed variable.For example to type: “therefore x becomes zero”, the alt+spacebar must be hit before and after ‘x’ in order to switch the typing mode. finding a simpler way to type single math variable while typing plain text.double-stroke letters are turned into Greek symbols even when I don’t want it.
I am having difficulties solving following problems: There are no other news except the fact that by default, after software gets installed on a systems with high-resolution monitor, the default zoom level will be set to 120%… And of course, several bugs are exterminated. You can download the new 1.91 beta2 from here. Only new users will be affected by new defaults. In any case, if you are not a new user and you already saved your preferred settings, you will see no change after you install the new Math-o-mir version. The problem is that users (like myself) that are lazy to switch between math and text typing mode are now going to be forced to do this more often because otherwise their ‘sloppiness’ is going to be clearly visible. This way a user is quicker to realize if he/she is typing in a wrong typing mode. I decided to leave the upright-sans-serif for plain text because I wanted better contrast between math and text. It seems however that fonts are ‘intelligent’ and adapt to low resolution well. The reason I decided to change the default math variable cast from italic-sans-serif to italic-serif is because with sans-serif readers have difficulties differentiating between uppercase ‘i’ and lowercase ‘L’ – both letters commonly used in math… For long time I was reluctant to use italic-serif font for math variables because I was thinking that on a low-resolution monitor, tiny serif fonts will be hard to read. measurement units are cast in pale upright-sans-serif font (same as before).function names are cast in greenish upright-serif font (same as before).digits are cast in upright-sans-serif font (same as before, but this is debatable).
- by default, it will use italic-serif font for math variables (before it was italic-sans-serif).
- by default, Math-o-mir will use sans-serif-upright font for plain text (same as before).
- Unfortunately, it seems that there are no consensus among experts and so I single-handedly decided as follows: Today I was reading about serif and sans-serif font opinions and recommendations, trying to reach some conclusion.
