Size of braces and parentheses in split environment

All,

The following display equation using a split environment produces  
curly braces and parentheses of different sizes in each line of the  
expression. I would like both lines to have braces and parentheses  
that have the same size as those in the first line.

Your help is appreciated.

  \begin{equation}
\begin{split}
	K_z  &= \frac{1}{\left( \sigma_{x}^{2} + \sigma_{y}^{2}\right)^{2}}  
\: \left(\mathcal{E} \left\{\left( X- \eta_x \right)^4 \right\} +  
\mathcal{E} \left\{\left( Y- \eta_y \right)^4 \right\} \right. \\
	& \quad \quad +\left. 2\,\mathcal{E} \left\{\left( X- \eta_x  
\right)^2 \left( Y- \eta_y \right)^2 \right\}  \right)
\end{split}
  \end{equation}

Thanks in advance,

Raul Martinez

Re: Egyptian hieroglyphs and Babylonian cuneiform

First, my thanks to Thomas Rike, Peter Dyballa, and Bruno Voisin for  
their responses in MacOSX-TeX Digest, Vol 10, Issue 12.

That works great.  I didn't know I had hieroglf.  Now I can easily  
typeset the numerals for 1, 10, 100, ..., 1000000, which are all the  
Egyptian that I need for my notes.

Now, on CTAN is fonts/cun (Date 2007-09-15) for cuneiform, but I  
don't see a fonts/cun in my installation.  Is that because I have TeX  
Live 2007 and not TeX Live 2008?  Would installing TeX Live 2008 give  
me fonts/cun that, perhaps, would be just as easy to use as the  
hieroglf?  Or can I simply download fonts/cun from CTAN and use them  
"out of the box" like hieroglf?

The first line on that Web page reads, "This tutorial assumes that  
you have installed Gerben Wierda's distribution of teTEX and TEX Live  
for OS X, through i-Installer, and a front end to this distribution  
(like TEXShop, iTEXMac, OzTEX, CMacTEX or TEX Tools)."  I'm using TeX  
Live from tug.org and do my typesetting in an XTerm window, so can I  
still try to follow the instructions on this Web page?

I will keep this in mind.  However, at this time I would rather not  
have to become familiar with XeTeX (whatever that is, because I'm not  
very good at using what I currently have as it is) if I can get  
around it.

Thanks again, all.

beamer and preview

hi list,

when I use beamer with texshop, I have problems with getting preview  
to do what I want, namely:

when I use the page-up or page-down keys of my keyboard, it doesn't  
jump slidewise, but depending on the actual size of the window, such  
that I e.g. see the lower half of one slide and the upper half of the  
next one.

is there a possibility to change this behaviour?

Egyptian hieroglyphs and Babylonian cuneiform fonts

Hello.  I'm writing some notes on ancient Egyptian and Babylonian  
numeral systems, and I would like to be able to typeset them.  I was  
pointed to this Web page

<http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/index.html>

and it looks like "Aegyptus" and "Akkadian" have the symbols I need  
(plus too much more), but I'm at a loss of how to proceed in using them.

Another lead is this article,

<http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb26-3/tb84wilson.pdf>

in which the last paragraph states that there are fonts I'm looking  
to use in CTAN.  Popping over there, I found

fonts/archaic/hieroglf
fonts/cun

I'm using Tex Live 2007 under Mac OS 10.4.11 on my 12" PowerBook G4.   
I have never installed new fonts, so the simplest directions would be  
very much appreciated.  I checked the archives and found this thread

<http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/macostex-archives/2005-October/ 
018111.html>

but, to be honest, I'm more than a little dumbfounded still.

TIA.

---John.

Hendrik, thank you and other members for your hint and suggestion on
the printer driver. We will take a look and see if that's the cause.

Flashmode BBEdit

The BBEdit version of Flashmode works with TexShop as previewer. It  
requires an intelMac and OS 10.5.x or better.

To install Flashmode, please follow exactly the instructions for the  
original Flashmode version for TeXShop, especially arrange the pdf and  
text files in TeXShop to your liking. The position of the tex file in  
BBEdit should correspond to the position of the file in TeXShop.

Using TeXShop as previewer requires that the tex file is also open in  
TeXShop. This will be automatically arranged by Flashmode. The copy of  
the tex file in TeXShop will also automatically be refreshed such that  
its content is always identical to that of the original file.

Syncing between the preview window and the source file should be done  
in TeXShop including any editing that results from it. The tex window  
in BBEdit will automatically reflect these changes.

The additional Applescripts provided by Flashmode still target TeXShop  
as editor, but they can be applied  to any tex file open and frontmost  
in BBEdit provided the file is also open in TeXShop.

Please, note that only the ten standard Flashmode applets are tailored  
for BBEdit. The alternate versions still target TeXShop.

Flashmode and its applets are universal Intel applications, i.e., on a  
64-bit capable intelMac they will start up in 64-bit mode, otherwise  
in 32-bit mode. The latter mode can also be manually chosen via the  
get-info panel.

The three alternate applets are pure 64-bit applications, they won't  
start on a 32-bit computer.
