- I was wondering whether anybody could help me with the following
- problem. I am writing up a PhD thesis which is getting fairly large,
- and as a result I am running out of parameter space. The problem arose
- when I tried to convert my subscripts to non-italicized letters. That is
- rather than use $t_{start}$ I used $t_{\mbox{\scriptsize start}}$.
-
- Can any body give me a fix. I see two possible solutions; one increase
- the parameter space, however, since the problem seams to occur early in
- the run this may not be practical; or maybe there is another way of
- making non-italic subscripts that doesn't chew up the parameter space.
-
- The error also seems to occur when the above appears in a figure
- caption. Could that be a problem? I'm not exactly sure but it looks
- like the problem occurs when the lof file is written to. I performed the
- function by using a \newcommand ie:
- \newcommand{\subs}[1]{{\mbox{\scriptsize #1}}}
- Does this need to be protected in some way?
-
- Any replies would be appreciated by email. Since I am witting up I find
- I spend less time reading news. (email strick@mullian.ee.mu.oz.au)
