That's funny, because if I comment out the txfonts package it doesn't work. It is obviously that package that it doing it for me, as I make no other change and I don't even have the package that you mention active (it is commented out).

You are half right though. I can also comment out the txfonts ...

I'll try that and see if that helps.

Thanks

Thanks, that was my first attempt before posting and it never worked. Your message showed me why it didn't work. is vital. without it you can't get both bf and sl, you just get the last one specified.

Thanks for addressing this. It is a slightly different question from my other post, so I will ask more about the headings aspect here.

Notice in the above headings definitions there is a couple of slight differences between the subsection and section headings, namely:

I use TeX Shop and have compiled tex files without any problems, but I need some packages that I apparently weren't installed (e.g., simplemargins, and winfonts) so I went to my TeX Live Utility. As soon as I ...

Okay, no bites so far. Maybe I can restate the question in order to get what I need.

I can avoid the above problem if I use \thesubsection in the footer instead of \rightmark ... BUT then I don't get the title of the subsection - just the number. Soooo .... how do I get at the subsection title ...
