Re: Table completely centered

Ahh! Stefan's solution works brilliantly!

I'm not entirely sure how it works though.

My understanding is obviously limited - I know that the ">" adds a command of some sort - so then \hfill is used to fill the cell with spaces. But how does the right and left alignment occur if the 'X' parameter ...

Re: Bottom Margin Extension

I found the answer I was looking for HERE:

Table completely centered

I wish to create a centered table like the table below where the delineator line is centered on the page. I have tried centering it by wrapping in a table environment, and by using centering , but neither has worked for me - obviously I'm doing something wrong?

\documentclass[letter,12pt]{article ...

Bottom Margin Extension

Hello,

I am trying to expand my bottom margin to allow for more text to fill the page (it's a 1 page Resume).

I was able to successfully 'back up' the top of the page with some copied code:

\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{3pt}{3pt}
\addtolength{\voffset}{-1cm}

But setting my margins with ...

Re: Good PDF Font with small Caps

Sorry, and yes I know of LinuxLibertine - I'm definitely looking for a serif font though.

Also, I'm a bit confused after all this what the utility of being able to use system fonts is (as I did originally, and was really excited about), if indeed, they don't render correctly into PDF, as I've ...

Re: Good PDF Font with small Caps

Ah, ok.

I just downloaded an OpenType font from a website called "Baskerville Small Caps ssi," which I suspect isn't really a good rendition, was wasn't noticeable on my document.

While I'm still unsure why exactly "Baskerville" isn't working but several other fonts are, I'm wondering now ...

Good PDF Font with small Caps

I'm assuming the problem is that the Baskerville font I'm using is the system font rather than the one from the latex library.

--I'm a bit confused with the conditional framework you used, or why I would need that? I've also been using XeLatex for everything, as LuaLatex has never worked for me for ...

Re: Good PDF Font with small Caps

I suppose I worked through some of it after I posted this already.

My problem now as I've been testing different fonts is that I really prefer the Baskerville font (with the special small caps extra font I downloaded and then used as the 'small caps' variant), as the letter spacing in particular is ...

Good PDF Font with small Caps

After having a huge amount of trouble caused by the "Baskerville" font (for reasons I still haven't elucidated, the font looks fine except in PDF readers, where the letters distort at regular viewing zooms).

As such I'm looking for a font which people believe shows up well in PDF and also has small ...

Re: Font/PDF Blurriness

Yes, I realized that afterwards - I thought it wouldn't matter though as the curving ruled line 'illusion' is very obvious on the Baskerville font (I have tested it with different people and they see it as well, confirming I'm not crazy! lol)

I have tested both fonts using your example (though ...
