Sep 29	comment	How do I make my document look like it was written by a Cthulhu-worshipping madman? Thanks for your work everyone: I've posted an example of what I'm going to be using it for on my blog: canageek.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/summon-invisible-servent I hope TeXLive gets Emerald in it soon, as those would be some awesome fonts to use.
Sep 29	comment	How do I make my document look like it was written by a Cthulhu-worshipping madman? Arrggg, of course you'd chose a font that isn't in TeXLive. Alright, so if I take your code, then the font above, then try this 'LuaTeX' thing....
Sep 29	revised	Proper way to use greek letters in an English document Added OS and version.
Sep 28	comment	Proper way to use greek letters in an English document @egreg I just realized the problem with your answer: The reason I asked the question is that Greek letters I put in with math mode don't copy. Someone wanted to send me some revisions to something I wrote, and are not a LaTeX user, so they pasted it into word. All the Greek characters disappeared. I've tried it in notepad++ and Firefox and get a newline, and emacs gives ^M^@. So your solution, creative as it is, will not work.
Sep 28	comment	Consistent typography I'm assuming that the note about citations only applies if you are not using footnote citations, which you want to come right after the word? Or am I missing something?
Sep 28	comment	How do I make my document look like it was written by a Cthulhu-worshipping madman? 1 gold, 3 silver, 5 bronze, and almost 400 reputation. I'm stunned, and saddened that I don't have time to test out the solutions now due sudden other commitments.

Sep 28	comment	Problem copying text from latex PDF - special characters @StefanKottwitz Crud, that removes the ease of inserting greek characters from LaTeX as I have to go find a source for them then.
Sep 28	comment	Problem copying text from latex PDF - special characters This isn't working for me: I have \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} both specified, but I still can't copy say, $\gamma$ out of the resulting PDF.
Sep 28	comment	Can one TeX file output to multiple PDF files? This isn't TeX, so I'm not going to make it an answer, but I think using some of scripting language that does a find and replace for you then runs LaTeX on each of the resulting would be simpler. Python, perl, awk, sed, bash... Are you familiar with any of those? A simple linux script to do that would not be hard.
Sep 28	comment	Can one TeX file output to multiple PDF files? Wouldn't it be easier to use something along the lines of awk or sed to do a replacement?
Sep 27	comment	Differences between LuaTeX, ConTeXt and XeTeX Is there any indication of when we can expect LuaTeX to have full microtypography? Any time now/years/possibly someday? i.e. is it worth waiting for before getting used to one engine?
Sep 26	comment	Drawbacks of XeTeX/LuaTeX Could you expand what you mean by this? I'm working in chemistry, and the American Chemical Society has a package out that does page sizes, bibliographic styles and such for you. Would this not work with luaTeX/XeTeX?

Sep 25	comment	How do I make my document look like it was written by a Cthulhu-worshipping madman? WOW, that looks perfect. I might muck about with the font and such, but that looks far better than I had hoped! I think you are right on the drop caps for this purpose, I'll find an excuse to use them another time.
