I am not a big Windows fan myself. I typically use vim as my editor under Linux.

I wasn't trying to say that it was, Charles
I was saying that I just like using it as an editor (and at the same time expressing my dislike for anything that runs on Windows).

Nope. May I ask why you are writing one?

 2009-11-07, 22:56 #51 flouran     Dec 2008 72·17 Posts 1. When I have an overhead bar, i.e.: $\bar{ab}$, my LaTeX compiler does not have the line cover both the letters. Instead it only covers the middle part of the two letters (and does not extend all the way). Does anyone else have similar problems or is it just something that I can't fix?
