No, this isn't my idea. Slapping {\rm ...} around everything isn't really palatable. Help. -- Gordan Palameta uunet!ai.toronto.edu!utgpu!maccs!gordan ---------- I haven't actually tried to do this, so I'm sorry if it doesn't work.... How about \load{\normalsize}{\rm} % go to roman font for math stuff \load{\normalsize}{\mit} % go back to math italic font There is one gotcha: all charactiers, including super- and subscripts, are printed in the same font, so stuff might not look too good. I found this little tidbit in Section C.14.4 in the LaTeX manual. Jeff Brown HP Corporate Computing Center brown%hpccc@hplabs.hp.com, ...hplabs!hpccc!brown
