Hi all,

I don't export from org at all, but Bernt's pdf doesn't look right to 
me. Notice that in the first equation, the exponents appear as `^2' 
(i.e., with the `^' character). As a heavy LaTeX user, I would write 
it as `y = x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2}', but trying Bernt's file with this 
modification, I still had the same result (`^2' in the output as 
opposed to a superscripted `2'). Org 6.28d and emacs 22.2.1 on ubuntu 
8.10.

Best,
