Incompatibility between cgloss4e/linguex and pdfsync?

Nevermind - I figured it out. Pdfsync package isn't needed. But TeXworks can't sync if the filename contains spaces (" ").


Old message:
I was happily using pdfsync with TeXworks, jumping back and forth between tex and pdf, but when I compile a tex file which include the package linguex there ...

(1) Currently, if the editor is the primary field, it is inserting an extra space after the "(ed.)".

In other words, I'm currently getting ...

making LaTeX output look like Word

Hi,
I know it's a bit perverse, but I'm trying to get Latex output to look more like a Word-generated document. It's for a Working Papers for which we will be accepting both Word- and Latex-generated documents, and we need consistently in the appearance.

Re: Greek italics (poor quality)

Thanks Thorsten and Stefan. I think I finally got it figured out. The default installation of the csgreek fonts is not the full installation (which needs to be done manually). Once that was done, the fonts come out beautifully.

Indica package

Does anyone here have any experience using the Indica preprocessor?

(e.g. http://omega.enstb.org/yannis/pdf/indica-santa94.pdf )

I can't seem to find any precompiled version of the Indica preprocessor (and I'm having difficulties compiling C code under Windows).
