Using Logic fonts in MS Word


If you want to use logic fonts in ms word you can, its just not very fun :-(
here's how. you need to use the Lucida Sans Unicode font. It has the Upside down A and the Backwards E and other symbols that logic is so fond of.

If you want to do it the hard way, you can use LaTex

It'll probably take some time but it may be worth it.

  1. So, the choice is between "not very fun" in Word, and "the hard way" in LaTeX?

  3. Would you be interested in a study group that would meet before tests and exams of CSC165? http://creativity-in-iron-bars.blogspot.com/2010/02/being-social.html

    You can skip until the comments, it's not necessary to read the post.
