Well not that one the graph is way too fucking bold.

Honestly I'm tired of the standard tex look. Lacks heft.

not inherently

you can make plenty of ugly as sin documents in LaTeX

It's almost as though experimentalists don't think before they do.

>>7915534
You realize arxiv posts tex sources, right?

>>7915565
a full-width document would have a tremendous amount of wasted space from those equations and would look like ass
>>
>>7915414
My professor wrote our Calc II/III book in Mathematica. So think LaTeX but you can modify the equations and rotate the graphs.
>>
>>7915580
>waste of space
Yeah, because that's what matters, unlike having room for the reader to jot down notes, lengthier equations, and graphs which aren't compressed to the point of looking like garbage.

>would look like ass
Like it does now?

>>7915589
I threw up a little in my mouth when I read that. What a shit experience that must have been.

What font is it?
>>
>>7918778
Whatever font I want it to be. I can download whatever fonts I need and add them to my collection of fonts on the computer. The graphics can be made in photoshop, columns can be created, etc. I have done this in the past.

true, but the only problem with this is that it can't be edited by anyone else without photoshop, and the knowledge to use it.

before you get all "nobody should be editing my paper other than me so what does it matter" on me, OP said document, which means it could be something that potentially needs to be shared with others, or even an entire department.

This is why during my internship, I made a baller ass data flow diagram that was qt10/10 in photoshop, just to have my supervisor be like "can you just put it in MS visio so we can make whatever changes?

>just

I still agree with you though PS is GOAT.
