Nice fonts for text and equations in IPE.

Ipe uses the TeX interpreter. Therefore, it is a nice solution for producing vector based graphics along the equations with accurate format. However, the default formatting may not be the best. Especially for the IEEE based documents, it would be more convenient to use the standard fonts for both text and equations.

In order to obtain such nice format, you just need to follow few more steps.

1. In Ipe, access the document properties via ‘Edit’ menu. Alternately, you can use the key combo: ctrl + shift + P (for windows) or cmd + shift + P (for mac).
2. In Ipe document properties dialog window, add following lines under the section named ‘Latex preamble’.
• \usepackage{amsmath}
• \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
• \usepackage{times}
• \usepackage{dsfont}
3. Click Ok and compile your document (ctrl + L).

There you go. The sweet IEEE format.
