Fonts in LaTeX
In short: To avoid the standard pixel bitmap fonts and go for smooth, scalable post script ones, use one of the following:
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{bookman}
\usepackage{newcent}
Section Footnote in LaTeX
I left biting marks in the table on this one. I don’t know if it’s a general issue or just my document. Anyway:
I wanted to have footnotes from inside sections, subsections, and subsubsections. They work similar to footnotes in tables, you need to address them similar to this:
Continuous Footnote Numbering in LaTeX
By default LaTeX starts the footnote counter at zero for each chapter when you use the class {book} or {scrbook}. If you want to avoid that and have a continuous enumeration, here is how it works:
Create a folder <remreset> in your local package repository. Save the file remreset.sty into this folder.
ΛαΤεΧ in Greek
There are various possibilities to include Greek text in your LaTeX document. The three ones I found are these:
$\Gamma\rho\varepsilon\varepsilon\kappa$gets you Γρεεκ allright, but it looks clumsy and lacks all the accents etc.- betababel. It does not work with my customised control sequences, and I am too lazy to change them and learn them all anew.
- polutonikogreek. Neat, slim, worked straight away.
Nos. 2 & 3 use ngerman, so make sure they don’t start a fight with german.
