It is highly recommended to use the bakoma Tex fonts found here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/
You need these fonts in particular: cmbx10, cmex10, cmmi10, cmr10, cmsy10, msam10 and msbm10. Install them into your system and make sure you have the install path set as a FontPath in your X11 configuration, then completely restart your X Server, if you use a display manager like kdm, you should also restart kdm. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace at the login should do the trick. If unsure, do a complete reboot.
You can also use the Esstix fonts. Only try the Esstix fonts if the above don't work. These fonts can be obtained from http://www.w3.org/Amaya/Distribution/esstix.tar.gz
After downloading the fonts, install them into a folder called
esstix
. You can unpack them with
the KDE application Ark. click on
esstix.tar.gz
and select ->.
Then start the KDE font installer by going to the K menu and
selecting the command ->-> You should get the following
screen:
You will need to run the font installer with root
privileges in order to install the fonts system-wide. Click on the button
and enter your root
password.
Click on the button
.
This should bring up a pane from where you can select the folder your fonts are
stored in. In
this example they are stored in /home/annma/esstix
.
Select all the fonts with Ctrl+A.
Click on the button. You will then see a progress dialog telling you it is installing the fonts.
KFormula will need to be restarted in order to use the newly installed fonts. To use the Esstix fonts, open -> and select as shown below.
The Symbol font style are fonts named Symbol shipped with most distributions and the Computer modern (TeX) style fonts are the bakoma fonts mentionned above.
