text becomes ugly when fontsize is very small (6pt)

Hmm, the smallest fontsize in ext is 8pt, which is too big. I'm also not having much success at your other suggestions.

Is there a way to write my document in double page-dimensions with normal fonts and than scale the whole document down (with a LaTeX command, not scaling PDF)?

text becomes ugly when fontsize is very small (6pt)

Hi!

I'm writing solutions to a certain mathematical algebra book, and I insist that the page dimensions of my solutions are the same as the dimensions of the book (so I can insert the solutions at the end), which is much smaller than ordinary A4.

Therefore I decrease my font size with \fontsize ...

Re: enumerate with circled numbers

Eeexcellent, that's what I was looking for. You're the man.

I would just like to point out, that it would be perhaps good if you removed the "_" symbols (third item), so that LaTeX can process it without errors (it might put some people off, thinking your method doesn't work).

anyway, much ...

enumerate with circled numbers

Hmmm, at first sight, It works beautifully, but problems arise, when I put labels on items and then use \ref{}, because it doesn't display the references correctly.

I also tried
\renewcommand*\item
instead of
\newcommand*\Myitem
, but It wouldn't process.

Any suggestions?

enumerate with circled numbers

Yes, I am aware of that solution, but it doesn't allow me to modify geometrically the properties of the circle. Perhaps one day, I will wish to create triangled numbering, or boxed numbering with yellow background and thicker lines.

That's why I wish to have the solution using TikZ package, so I ...

enumerate with circled numbers

Hello, I have searched this forum and found out, how to circle text. I wish to apply this, to get an enumerate environment with circled numbers.

I specifically wish to use TIKZ and enumitem packages, because they offer the most versatility (perhaps one day, I will want a boxed enumeration with ...

wavy and fractured overline

Hello,

in my diploma from topology, I need to somehow denote ordinary paths, polygonal paths and straight paths (lines). I am using \overline for straight paths and wish to use wavy overline (like sinus) for ordinary paths and fractured overline (like f(x)=|x|, that is, with 90° angles) for ...
