Title Capitalization
Not to myself : how to capitalize an English paper title :
Rule 8
Always capitalize the first and last words of titles of publications regardless of their parts of speech. Capitalize other words within titles, including the short verb forms Is, Are, and Be.
Exception:
Do not capitalize little words within titles such as a, an, the, but, as, if, and, or, nor, or prepositions, regardless of their length.
Examples:
The Day of the Jackal
What Color Is Your Parachute?
A Tale of Two Cities

Install non-free latex fonts
sudo getnonfreefonts-sys --all
It includes luximono (and luximono.sty) for latex, a nice fixedwidth font with all typeface included (blod, italics) I use this one for listings (lstlistings, algorithmic etc …)
And now for something completly different :
Install ms font in linux :
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts ttf-ms-fonts
sudo fc-cache -f -v
