My Own World...

On my Mac I use LaTeXIt a lot. It takes a LaTeX code and produces instant image of your equation. It is super handy for presentations in PPT or documents in MS Word (which are known to present serious compatibility problems between versions when you use equations) The problem is that klatexformula (the recommended LaTeXIt alternative for Ubuntu) never worked for me in Ubuntu nor Mint 16/17 The solution?  LibreOffice extension TeXMaths It works perfect! You can eve edit the equations you already inserted... and they look beautiful as they do normally in LaTeX or beamer. Just download the extension (.oxt) and double click to install. Open your file and you will notice the addon in the top left :) A charm!

Just learned this... So will copied as is from the source ( here ) I just learned something remarkable, and I have to write it down so I don't forget: Often IEEE conferences will require you to submit a PDF with embedded fonts. If you're forced to do this, no doubt you're familiar with a hugely irritating fact about most LaTeX packages: they don't embed fonts by default. There are workarounds, like the ps2pdf command line parameters that force font embedding, but using them can be awkward (e.g., if your LaTeX target isn't postscript, or if you're using a GUI LaTeX editor). But if you're a Mac user, like me, here's all you have to do: Open the PDF in Preview, and then save it again. It's saved with fonts embedded. That's it, seriously! Awesome, right?
