WHAT IS A GOOD AE FONT to use for mathematical notation?

Hello, what font would you use for graphics containing the following Greek and other symbols in After Effects of the Lorentz transformation?
I've been poking around the various fonts that came with my Production Suite Premium without too much luck.
Thanks!
Matt

At the link in Daftly's reply, the Mathematical Pi font is a good one, but a couple other thoughts...
The standard in the world of math publishing is, or will soon become, the STIX family of fonts. If you look at the bottom of their page and see the 6 huge organizations who are behind these fonts, you'll see why.
Any decent Unicode font (whether or not it has Unicode in its name) will have a full complement of Greek symbols.
What a Unicode font won't have are characters that stretch, like the parentheses in your example. For that, you'll need "math notation software" such as the ones Navarro mentioned. Either that, or you'll be doing a lot of manual editing in Illustrator.
The style guide for whoever you're submitting your work to, whether it's your university to which you'll submit your work or a corporation you work for, will likely have specifications for typesetting, and may specify a particular font. I've worked with a corporation that specified Palatino for publication, which I personally like as a font, but it's nigh impossible to typeset middle-level to advanced math in Palatino. Hopefully you can find some compromise.

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

    What font is used for the menu of Illustrator CS5?
    I know how to change the default font, which is used to input characters.
    But, I do not know how to check the font used in the menu.

    C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings\ja_JP\AIPrefs
    If you know, please tell me how to check the configuration file and how to change the font that is used in the menu.

  • What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    I can't find the answer on Google. What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    This font. It's weird, it looks different when viewing the screenshot on my iMac, than it does on my iPod touch. Probably because of the retina screen of the iPod.

  • What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)?

    What is a good solid state hard drive for a Macbook Pro (2007 model)? I imagine they're still expensive, but I'm curious which would be good picks if I were to go for it.

    I am using the Corsair P256 (256 GB) SSD. It is actually a Samsung drive. It works well, but will only give you part of the speed advantage due to the fact that the MBP from 2007 only has a 1.5 GB/s interface, while newer MBPs have a 3.0 GB/s interface.
    Impact on battery run time seems to only be an increase of 15-20%.
    Boot time on my MBP is 40 seconds to login prompt. System seems very responsive.

    You don't need to copy the cert out of your configuration. OpenSSL has an "s_client" subcommand which can open an SSL connection and verify the cert for you. It even knows how to do STARTTLS. Something like this ought to do it:
    openssl s_client -starttls smtp -CAfile /path/to/ca/file -connect your.ironport:25
    The /path/to/ca/file is necessary to provide openssl with a cache of root CA certs. You could use -CApath instead of -CAfile if you have a hashed directory of root CA certs instead of a single file containing them all.
    You can also point this at your partner's SMTP server as well.

  • What are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA

    Hi all
    what are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA.
    please explain clealry.
    Thanks & Regards,
    James

    James,
    Please go through Roberto's weblog :
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it
    Anyways,
    As you know LO cockpit consists of different modules(MM, PP, SD, etc)
    They are called appl components. Each of them have a number (eg.MM=02) and for each appl comp they might be different Data sources and for each DS they might be different tables. So, unless you be specific we cant tell a specific table for a DS.
    coming to the delta mechanisms, there are " direct delta, queqed delta and serialized delta".
    Copa is based on the oepration concern. it can be created on " accouting based" or "costing based".

  • What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
    What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
    Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
    So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

  • What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?

    What is the best I/O to use for a MUD?
    It seems that people usually show I/O examples with IOs like:
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInptuStream()));
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
    out.println("Hello World");
    out.flush();
    PrintStream out = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    out.println("Hello World");
    out.flush();When I say 'best I/O' I mean, can you give me an I/O that'll be the best if a MUD starts getting LOTS of request and becomes rather busy?
    Thanks!

    One last question, are output streams thread safe?A stream is inherently serial in the way it data is written to it. If two threads try to write to the same stream asynchronously, the ordering of the data written will not be predictable.
    For example:
    One class is recieving input from a user and
    reply-printing thing like "Command Successful", and
    another class is recieving messages from other users,
    but the PrintWriter would be originally created in the
    first class and then passed as a parameter to the
    second class...would this work, or should I just
    redirect all command replies to that second class?If they are in the same thread, then it could work. If there are separate threads, then some higher granularity synchronization needs to be imposed, so that the second thread doesn't start writing part way through the first's output.
    For example:public class NeoThreadWriter implements Runnable {
      final String name;
      final int delay;
      final boolean synch;
      NeoThreadWriter (String name, int delay, boolean synch) {
        this.name = name;
        this.delay = delay;
        this.synch = synch;
      public void run () {
        if (synch) {
          new Synch().run();
        } else {
          new ASynch().run();
      class Synch implements Runnable { 
        public synchronized void run () {
          synchronized (System.out) {
            for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
              System.out.println(name+":"+i);
              try {
                Thread.sleep(delay);
              } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
                iex.printStackTrace();
      class ASynch implements Runnable { 
        public synchronized void run () {
          for (int i=0; i<6; i++) {
            System.out.println(name+":"+i);
            try {
              Thread.sleep(delay);
            } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
              iex.printStackTrace();
      public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {
          Thread threadA = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("A", 40, false));
          Thread threadB = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("B", 20, false));
          System.out.println("asynchronous threads");
          threadA.start();
          threadB.start();
          threadA.join();
          threadB.join();
          System.out.println("synchronized threads");
          Thread threadC = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("C", 40, true));
          Thread threadD = new Thread (new NeoThreadWriter ("D", 30, true));
          threadC.start();
          threadD.start();
          threadC.join();
          threadD.join();
          System.out.println("Done");
        } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
          iex.printStackTrace();
    }With asynchronous threads A and B, the output is all mixed up. With synchronized threads the ordering of the output is maintained. Note that the guard has to encompass all of the code that generates the output; simply synchronizing the println invocations wouldn't prevent the mixing.
