I'm mildly unhappy with how my table looks (see the pdf below). Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it?

Horizontal spacing is quite tight (try not to make any suggestions that would add to the width). I've tried using diagonal fractions, but they don't look very good, and the rest of the ...

Perfect. Thank you.

For future reference, you can then define a style using and then use it in a pin via

I wanted to bump this up, as I still haven't managed to find a satisfactory solution.

One possibility is to unset the global pin style and set the pin style per tikzpicture:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[every pin/.style={fill=gray!50, rectangle, rounded corners=3pt}]
\node[pin=0:{Pin Text}] at (0,0) {};
\end{tikzpicture ...

Hi!

Question: How do you change (pin) styles locally and globally? For
example, if I want one sort of pin, I can define at the beginning of
my document:


\tikzset{%
every pin/.style={fill=gray!10, rectangle, rounded corners=3pt}
}


Then simply use a command such as

\node[pin=0:{Pin Text}] at ...

Concerning the font itself I'm afraid that there will be no workaround. The font designer just didn't provide this character. But there are a lot of possible alternatives [1-4]. A further search in the forum might yield more solutions. In the meantime you should know the search function.

I'd like to use the circled numbers in the pifont package, as listed on p.87 here

So for example, you can use:

\ding{172}
\ding{173}
\ding{174}
\ding{175}


to make circled numbers 1-4. You can also do a circled 10. However, there is no circled zero! This is a bit of a problem for me.

I have been typesetting my document with XeTeX and fontspec thus far. However, I'm not too happy with the lack of microkerning for XeTeX so I'd like to switch to using OpenType fonts coupled with the otfinst program .

Requirements: My document is being typeset in Adobe Caslon Pro for the main body ...

Okay, I think I'm pretty happy with the solution(s) proposed. We'll mark this one as closed.

I think that Fontspec's \fontspec command does what \selectfont does (--in fact, that may be part of its definition, I'm too lazy to look--) so that's not the issue here.

Do let us know if my suggestions above are of any help. I've never really had the need to fiddle much with fontsize/leading ...
