Subject: Bug or feature?
Keywords: bug, TeX
As a three year user (and addict) of TeX,
I am extremely reluctant to call something a bug,
but can someone explain to me what is happening in
the following example? For some reason the 'L' of 'Left'
is attached to the '1fil'. This has been observed with TeX
on Atari, Macintosh and Vax. I can't figure out why this is
legal according to the rules in the last chapters of the
TeX-book.

Subject: Linear system macro?
Keywords: macros
I am looking for a macro for linear systems, e.g.,
\linearsystem{xyz}{
-1& &3 &5 \\
&2 &-5&6}
expands to something like
\halign{$\hfil#$&$\hfil{}#{}& % x's
$\hfil#$&$\hfil{}#{}& % y's
$\hfil#$& % z's
${}=#\hfil$ \cr % ='s
-1x& & & +&3z&=5 \cr
& & 2y& -&5z&=6 \cr}
Is there such a beast? I'm new to macro writing and I'm having a tough
time with it. Any helps or hints would be appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: Re: macros for automatic italic corrections
Keywords: italics, TeX, LaTeX
In TeXMag Vol 3, No. 1, article 9 Dan Bernstein gives some Macros for
automatic italic corrections.
I am a relatively new TeX-User, so perhaps my thoughts are quite stupid.
But I am always wondering if I read something like :
" ... an italic correction is always needed when switching from
italic to roman type, except when the italic type is followed
immediately by a roman period or comma ..."
If the rules are as clear as this statement (I think I saw it
also in the TeX-Book and the LaTeX-Book) implies, why do we all
have to worry about it at all. I think, TeX should know in which
font it is and could do the necessary correction by itself. Is
there anything I didn't see?
This should be even more true, if it is right, that an correction
is indeed only made, if a font switch to roman actually occures
and ignored otherwise (as I have it in mind from one of the two
books above).
Can anybody tell me the truth?

Subject: \topskip--problems with line- and page-breaking
Keywords: \topskip, TeX
Pardon a possibly dumb question, but TeX's line- and page-breaking
algorithms have yet to make much sense to me. I used \raggedbottom
in a long document (series of overheads, home-grown macros, not SliTeX)
and found that vertical glue in some pages was still getting stretched,
resulting in some items being widely separated; therefore I decided to
increase the amount of vertical space that \raggedbottom allows (I've
done the horizontal equivalent with \raggedright and \rightskip); I
followed \raggedbottom with \topskip=10pt plus90pt.
Now, this shouldn't have any effect on the page breaking, right? It
should just increase the amount of vertical glue available to fill up
the bottom of the page, surely. Wrong. It changed the page breaks and
resulted in more pages. What am I missing?

Kewyords: page size, TeX, LaTeX
Could someone tell me how to increase the size of the page that TeX
(and LaTeX, which is what I'm using) prints on? It uses only 9.6 in. or so
per page, and I'd prefer about 11 in.
Also, what advantages does TeX have over LaTeX? (or vice-versa)
Thanks in advance...

Subject: Problem with LaTeX picture environment
Keywords: LaTeX, picture environment
I am having a problem with the LaTeX picture environment.
Some characters (apparently those that normally hang below the
base line, like "[") are treated differently in a picture environment
depending on whether the picture is inside of a figure environment
or not. Here is an example:
\documentstyle[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[t]
%
% the picture in a figure
%
\begin{picture}(100,10)
\put(0,0){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{[}}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){50}}
\end{picture}
\end{figure}
%
% the picture out of a figure
%
\begin{picture}(100,6)
\put(0,0){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{[}}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){50}}
\end{picture}
\end{document}
The line is for reference. The "[" moves up a few points inside
of the figure. I'd like to know why this happens, and how to
avoid it for pictures inside of figures.
I know a few odd facts from experimentation. Putting \protects in
front of everything doesn't help; neither does enclosing the picture
in a "boxing" command like \mbox or \vbox. Using the default
reference point for the \makebox commands (centered horizontally and
vertically) seems to work, but converting all of my pictures to this
form is a large task.

Subject: Concerning nested conditionals
Keywords: TeX, nested conditionals
In TeX I can have nested conditionals like in
\ifodd ...
\ifnum ...
...
\else
...
\fi
\else
\if ...
...
\else
...
\fi
\fi
If in this example I replace \ifnum by a macro \IfMyConditional
and \IfMyConditional evaluates to either \iftrue or \iffalse
Then the above code would NOT work if \ifodd evaluates to false.
Because in this case the closing \fi
of \ifnum would be used as closing \fi of \ifodd.
Is there a way to define a macro \IfMyConditional in such a way that
TeX recognizes the macro as a conditional even if TeX skips
the part of a conditional's text which is not expanded because the
conditonal did not `avaluate the right way'? Do I miss something
trivial here?

%%% Moderator's note: Even though there are not nearly so many

Subject: Dvipage and fonts on sun 386i
Keywords: dvipage, fonts, SUN 386i
Regarding the strange display produced by dvipage on a Sun 386i ---
thanks to all who responded to say that it is not a byte swap problem
with the fonts. The problem is with byte swapping within dvipage when
it samples the fonts from a resolution of 300 down to the screen resolution.
If dvipage is started in monochrome mode (-m option), no sampling is done
and the display is fine, though somewhat large.
The 386i does have a function to flip pixrects (pr_flip()). Do any
dvi guru's know when and where to pr_flip() in dvipage? The man page
claims to be version 4.0 from February 1988. This version uses both
pxl and gf fonts, but not pk.

Subject: Re: Postscript Fonts in LaTeX
Keywords: PostScript, fonts, LaTeX
In a message to me, John R. Pearce writes
I am fairly new to LaTeX and would like to use some postscript
fonts in place of the Computer Modern (either for just text or
text and maths). Could you tell me if anyone has reworked
lfonts.tex to allow the use of postscript fonts.
A typesetting program must know the "metrics" of the fonts it
uses--e.g., how wide each character is. TeX obtains this information
from tfm files, which are produced by Metafont. PostScript fonts have
their own metric files. The dvi2ps program written by Stephen
Bechtelsheim of Purdue, comes with programs that produce tfm files for
PostScript fonts. I presume other dvi -> PostScript converters can
also provide tfm files for PostScript fonts. However, the font metrics
of PostScript fonts do not contain enough information for mathematical
typesetting; nor is are there a PostScript font corresponding to the
TeX mathe extension font, which is used to produce such things as big
braces and radical signs. Therefore, although one can use PostScript
fonts with TeX, math symbols must come from the CMR font family.
Adobe is producing a set of PostScript math fonts for TeX. They are now
being beta tested, and should become available in the not too distant
future. When they are released, I plan to create a version of LaTeX
for PostScript that uses them.
