This yak is enormous
Oct. 7th, 2011 03:09 pmI'm giving an exam Tuesday, and I need to write up the questions for copying.
Maybe LaTeX can do Babylonian numerals so that I don't have to draw them in by hand?
(search, search)
Yes! So, how do I set up a fresh LaTeX document again?
(fuss, fuss)
Hm. Now how do I tell LaTeX to use those fonts?
(search, search)
Aha! A sampler of ancient fonts in LaTeX! Now to compile it!
Ah, my TeX installation is out of date.
(search, download...)
Yeah, sure. I'm getting lots of work done. Really.
