Subject: GUTenberg meeting in PARIS in May 89
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
GUTenberg's meeting will be held at PARIS in may, 16-17 1989.
(GUTenberg is the TeX Users Group of French speaking people)
The main topic is : "How include graphics within TeX output ?"
This topic starts with graphics made in TeX (like PicTeX),
continues with the \special TeX command and ends with MetaFONT,
PostSCRIPT, etc. This is a very large subject opened to all aspects
of graphics/methods and all micro/mini/maxi computers.
Official language is French but English speakers are welcome.
Deadline for submitting an abstract : Christmas 88
Other deadlines will be sent after abstract acceptation.
Please, send abstracts directly to me : UCIR001@FRORS31.BITNET

From: RADFORD@FRGAG51
Subject: Macro documentation: EXAMPLES please
Keywords: macros
Macro authors, would you please include a small example file in your
documentation? This should illustrate the very basic operation of the
package, the same way Knuth's story.tex does for TeX (or sample.ltx does
for LaTeX). In additon an example file would provide a quick check the
package has been received and installed correctly.
This occured to me this morning as I looked through J. E. Pittman's
Cellular.TeX macros from TeXhax.88.103. It seems the package has some nice
features I could use, but it's also clear it will take me a couple of hours to
figure out enough to get a simple test out of the printer. I simply don't
have this sort of time to invest in every bunch of macros I see, and I
imagine much of the TeXhax readership also has similar constraints.
So please, include an example.

Subject: Manualfeed with Arbortext dvilaser
Keywords: dviware
I am aware of how to specify manual feed on the Apple Laserwriter
using Arbortext's dvips program dvilaser, namely
\special{ps::[global] statusdict begin /manualfeed true def end}
inserted in the TeX source. However, manual feeding is the kind of
feature which should be independent of the TeX source, i.e. the .dvi
file shouldn't have to know that the paper will be fed manually.
Does anyone know of a way to specify manual feed on the Laserwriter
using Arbortext's software without inserting the above line or
something similar in the TeX source?

Subject: ***Bug in all versions of DVItoVDU and PSPRINT***
Keywords: bug, DVItoVDU, PSPRINT
Niel Kempson has found a bug lurking in all versions of DVItoVDU and PSPRINT,
including the recently completed Pyramid Pascal versions.
The bug occurs in the FixToDVI routine (in the FontReader module) and only
rears its ugly head if a font has a scaled size >= 128pt.
(FixToDVI is called ConvertTFMWidth in versions < 2.0).
Here is a correct Modula-2 version of FixToDVI (in fontreade.mod):
PROCEDURE FixToDVI (b0, b1, b2, b3 : CARDINAL) : INTEGER;
(* Convert the given fixword (made up of 4 bytes) into DVI units
using the method recommended in DVITYPE.
*)
VAR alpha, beta, s : CARDINAL; temp : INTEGER;
BEGIN
s := currfont^.scaledsize; (* so we don't change scaledsize! *)
alpha := 16 * s;
beta := 16;
WHILE s >= 40000000B DO (* 2^23sp = 128pt *)
s := s DIV 2;
beta := beta DIV 2;
END;
temp := (((((b3 * s) DIV 400B) + (b2 * s)) DIV 400B) + (b1 * s)) DIV beta;
... etc ...
If you are using the Pyramid Pascal versions you need to make a similar
change to the FixToDVI routine in fontreader.p.
The reward for the next bug found has been doubled to \$\char48.

Subject: Asymmetrical i dot in cmr12.300gf
Keywords: bug
I happened to notice (by eye) that the dots on the i's in cmr12 in my output
looked a bit asymmetrical, so I checked the cmr12.300gf gf file, and sure
enough, they're like this:
***
****
*****
****
***
This is true on all the machines I checked -- UnixTeX, TeXtures, and TOPS-20
(including score -- from which the others probably derived?).
Is this a bug in the font or metafont or what? Or am I wrong in supposing
that an i's dot should necessarily be symmetrical? Is this a long known
problem or non-problem?
Thanks.

\def\uu{\accent'27u}
will give you an accented u whenever required.
i've tended to use \uu as an analogy with \aa
(i.e. a letter that shape), rather than create
an accent which can then be used over any letter,
but obviously that is another approach.

Keywords: fonts
Hi all,
As some of you out there may know, the Dutch PTT is being
converted into a private business instead of being part
of the government.
Part of the process is the developmen of a new, so called
"house-style".
In order for our LaTeX users to keep making documents in LaTeX
we are in need of two fonts (families?) called UNIVERS 65 and
UNIVERS 55. Does anyone know if there exists a METAFONT source
for these? Or are they available in PostScript form?
Anyone who can help me, please respond directly to me, if I get
some interesting replies I'll summarize for the list.

Subject: Typography, Math, Greek
Keywords: Typography, Math, Greek
Ian Gibson <guelph2@watdcs.uwaterloo.ca> asked about some positioning
problems:
a) Yes, the < (.LT.) operator *is* very low, I have noticed this, but
I don't know why it is so. It is doubtless for a very good reason
and connected with what Barbara Beeton asked DEK about the minus
sign height recently. Can BB comment?
b) between a number and its units a \thinspace is conventional.
c) a $\mu$ is sloping because Greek slopes in lowercase. You *could*
have an upright $\mu$ but it would look as odd as the italic
pounds-sterling sign does in LaTeX (LL have you fixed that yet?)
where it should be upright. Best bet is to find someone with a
Hewlett Packard soft font with an upright $\mu$ and use HP2TEX
to make yourself a special font+tfm pair. Maybe Glyphix?

Subject: PostScript specials
Keywords: PostScript, \special
I've added the following two specials to my PostScript driver for
the Amiga, and I must say that *I* find them useful. Specifically,
\special{"postscript code}
copies everything following the double quote to the driver, after
positioning correctly (horizontally *and* vertically) and opening
a special `special' dictionary. (Note the lack of matching end
quote.)
\special{!postscript code}
copies everything following the exclamation point similarly, but
before anything else in the document, and after opening the special
dictionary. The double-quote specials are bracketed by `save' and
`restore'; the exclamation point specials are not. So you use
the exclamation point specials to define macros that are used
in your double quote macros.
This makes it easy to enclose special PostScript graphics with a
minimum of fuss and without all those extra external files. It
also ensures that the macros work no matter what subset of the pages
are printed.
Comments?

Subject: Floating right hand figures
Keywords: TeX
Has anyone `succeeded' in getting Tom Reid's \rightinsert to work wih
LaTeX over the last year or so ? To be honest, I'm having difficulty
getting it to work with Plain, but that may be a function of my typing :-)
Even better, has anyone developed a more general \insert, to do left
or right hand side floats of any number of paragraphs deep ? I'd love
to use \marginpar, but the book design I'm working too ("Addison-Wesley's
house style' : huh - no such beast !) has no real marginal white
space, and anyway, right hand floats would be wonderful for many other
things...
The idea, in case its not clear is:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
paragraph 1 xxxxxxxx
xxxxxx
xxxxxx
xxxxxxxx figure
paragraph 2 xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxx
paragraph 3 xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Where the figure could take from 1 to n paragraphs, and gets floated
if there isn't enough room on the current page.
Thanks

Subject: Fig and Tab enhancements..
Keywords: TeX
Hello All,
I am writing to TeXhax in the hope that someone will come to my assistance.
My problem arises due to the use of photographs in a document. It is
required that these photographs be refered to as PLATES, and that
like FIGUREs and TABLEs in LaTeX, they be numbered accordingly, as well
as the usual \listoffigures,\listoftables --- a similar facility is
required for the plates.
I assume the answer lies in obtaining the approprite definitions
of TABLE and FIGURE and implementing a corrosponding version for PLATE.
However I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to achieve this.
All help would be most welcome.....
Thank in advance....

Subject: Hyphenation in \tt font
Keywords: TeX
I'm using \tt font to typeset knowledge representation terms
used by an AI program. For example, volitional-agent is used
to represent a person or an institution. I've defined a macro
\rep that expands directly to \tt. I did it this way because
it would be easy to change it to typeset \rep terms in, say,
capitals (another commonly used convention). \rep terms are
used in normal sentences typeset in normal \rm font.
My question is, how to I get LaTeX to allow normal hyphenation
for \rep terms? \tt doesn't seem to want to hyphenate. This
results in lines sticking way out of the right margin like this (if I use
\fussy), or in underful lines stretched
across the page like this if I use \sloppy.
Thanks.

Subject: Problem with picture mode
Keywords: LaTeX
I have a problem with \makebox in LaTeX picture mode. The LaTeX book
says that its reference point is the lower-left corner. I figure that
if I use dimensions (0,0) and the default "pos" (which is horiz and
vert centered), the object in my box would be centered on the point.
The following example does not center the second and third circles
correctly:
\setlength{\unitlength}{10pt}
\begin{picture}(50,50)
\put(15,20){\line(1,0){10}}
\put(20,15){\line(0,1){10}}
\put(20,20){\circle{5}} % Centers fine
\put(20,20){\makebox(0,0){\circle{3}}} % Too high
\put(20,20){\makebox(0,0){\circle{.3}}} % Too far left
\end{picture}

Subject: New LaTeX manual (suggestions)
Keywords: LaTeX
Dear Dr.Lamport,
I would like to give a few comments to your plan of a new LaTeX Manual.
First of all, I like the present manual very much, indeed, -- far more
than the TeXbook -- and I consider it an ideal guide for AUTHORS.
However, I sometimes miss information needed by LAYOUT DESIGNERS.
Therefore, I suggest that you split the manual into 2 parts or perhaps
2 separate volumes: one for authors, and the second one for layout
designers.
The AUTHORS' Manual should be just like the present manual (perhaps
without the chapter `Designing it Yourself').
For the LAYOUT DESIGNERS' Manual, I suggest the following contents:
- description of the LaTeX commands and layout parameters for
`designing it yourself'
- description of the files LATEX.TEX, ARTICLE.DOC, and ART10.DOC,
perhaps similar to the description of PLAIN.TEX in appendix B of
the TeXbook, or at least printing the comments that appear in those
files
- hints on how to define new layouts. This should include:
- technical questions (style files, style option files, \ds@foo, etc.)
- layout design decisions (e.g. why there is no \parindent after
section headings, and how \textwidth, \textheight, \baselineskip etc.
are related to each other and to the font size, etc. etc.)
- LaTeX internal conventions (\makeatletter, \leftmargini, \@listi,
\linewidth, etc.)
- some examples, e.g.:
- how to change `Chapter' and `Figure' and `Table of Contents' etc.
and \today to the corresponding spanish words
- how to define a `myfootings' page style
- how to adjust the page layout for larger or smaller or taller
paper sheets
and some more.
I hope that my ideas may be useful. If you don't find the time to write
the second part, perhaps someone else might step in? (Therefore, I am
publishing this letter via TEXHAX, too.)
Sincerely,
Hubert Partl, Technical University of Vienna, Austria
(a LaTeX lover)
Some time ago, several people asked for beginners' manuals on How to Design
Document Layouts. I have found one book that looks very useful (and easy-
to-read) to me:
John Miles: ``Design for Desktop Publishing''
(Gordon Fraser, London, 1987, ISBN 0-86092-097-6)
Happy TeXing and happy Layouting!

Subject: UNIX style TeX processing?
Keywords: UNIX, TeX
I always had problems accepting UNIX TeX writing its dvi code to a disc file.
In this respect, and a very few others, I prefer the troff/nroff way
where you filter your text progressively through a set of pipes
until it is processed enough to be sent to your screen previewer or printer
spooler.
Piping would be particularly convenient when using a previewer since
the previewing process could start up as soon as there would be any dvi
text available at the other end of the pipe. Whether this is best
accomplished by changing the TeX code to write to stdout and then use a
'|' or perhaps modify the code so that virtex and the previewer have
access to the dvi code through shared memory I really don't know.
Maybe a FIFO would do?
I am sure many TeX'ers have thought about this and come up with a nice
solution. If so, please tell me how you did it. This way I won't have to
reinvent the infamous wheel again ...

Subject: LaTeX style for UNIX man pages
Keywords: LaTeX, UNIX
In TeXhax 108, Paul Davis requested a LaTeX style file to give UNIX manual
page style output. Kamal Al-Yahya at Stanford University wrote a set of
utilities called "textools", which I believe is on the UNIX TeX distribution
tape, that includes a troff to LaTeX translator. This translator can
handle -man macros and comes with some special LaTeX macros to emulate
the -man .TP and other commands. Perhaps Paul could run a few UNIX
man pages through this translator and use the output plus the special
macros to put together a UNIX man style. If you don't have these "textools"
macros, drop me a line and I can make them available for anonymous ftp.
