I don't know if I have it, but I update my MikTeX distribution regularly (last
update yesterday :)) ), so if it's part of it I should have it... Anyway, it's
not the only font that poses problems (the ancient Greek fonts too, and in this
case I don't think I can do much, IIRC they are T3 fonts).

Well, it "doesn't work" simply because it refuses to compile and doesn't make a
PDF file :(( . And its error messages are at best oniric :)) . I'm under the
impression that it has problem with some fonts I use, but I could be wrong...

Well, if I use it, it will be to see as an influence only (just like I'm gonna
let myself influence by the layout of the "(Not So Short) Introduction to
LaTeX" :)) . It's especially for the headings :)) .

I suppose I have everything in my MikTeX distribution. It's the complete one.
I'll try to look at it more closely. But the first issue at least will be
simply in LaTeX2e, since I don't have enough time to learn Omega yet :(( .

Thanks! I didn't know those links. I'll check them out.
