Hi, I'm using the beamer package to create a presentation using latex. The standard setup for beamer is using the pdftex for compiling the final pdf document. However this poses some limitations on the latex file. e.g. eps files first have to be converted and several packages like pstricks can not be used. Therefore i want to use the alternative methode of compiling that is the latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf route. According to the manual this should be possible I'm using the beamer style with the dvips options the way it is mentioned in the documentation. However when the dvi file is created it is created in the standard A4 page format and not the paper format used for the frame of the presentation. This results in a large white space. This space stays present in the ps and pdf version of the document that are created using dvips and ps2pdf. The -ta4 option that is mentioned in the manual does not help. Does anyone have any suggestions. I've consulted previous messages on the list and the FAQ on CTAN but couldn't find anything. Thanks Benno B.T.W. van Oosten Brugdam 14 4926 CS Lage Zwaluwe |

Hi there! I've been trying to write an Esperanto document using Omega for the past few days but to no avail. Esperanto letters appear fine throughout the document but they disappear when they are supposed to appear one after the other (even if they are divided by a space). Check out the example below. Any help would be appreciated.

I agree about the wonders of windoowz because after compiling several times over an changing no settings it suddenly works just fine. I'm using the same settings you suggested. It's a great mistery to me what happend, but it works so i am happy Benno At 11:35 26-3-2004, you wrote: > > I'm using the beamer package to create a presentation using latex. > > The standard setup for beamer is using the pdftex for compiling the > > final pdf document.
