|
| |
I installed MikTeX 2.6 and then changed to MikTeX 2.8 on my Windows 7 64-bit system, and neither of them can download packages (from any of several of the FTP servers on the menu).

XeLaTeX: boldfaced keywords in listings
|
| |
Using XeTeX (XeLaTeX) from Miktex 2.7 on Windows XP SP3. The default fonts used by the listings package make bolfaced keywords hardly distinguishable from normal text.
